I admit every morning
That You have restored my soul
I thank for the cloths
That you put on my body so I will not be cold

I admit every morning
For the light for my being
I confess to bread
That you put to my desk so I would not be hungry and won't know pain

I confess my innumerable smiles
For all my talents and all my poems I'll dedicate them all to You
You should know that I thank You

I will shout to You!
Great is Your Name
To You my life my heart and my thank
I will call to You, I will call You

I admit every morning for my strengthen
For my father and my mother
I thank You for the rain You given my fields
To care for my loved You have given me my life

For the day of rest I thank You
For the abundance and blessing
For the family all of it is only thanks to You
You should know that I thank You

I will shout to You!
Great is Your Name
To You my life my heart and my gratitude
I will call to You, I will cal to You

"Come, let us sing praises to Lord; let us shout to the rock of our salvation
Let us greet His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout to Him with songs." (Psalm 95)

For all my failures and disappointments I admit
My fears and obstacles they are all in my favor
There is no other in my heart I thank only You

20 Heshvan the hilulah of Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi Ztsk"l

Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi was born in the year 5672 in Sharaab in Yemen and was named Mordechai Yefet-Tauzi, his father died before his birth, and his mother died when he was two years old.
He grew up in the home of his grandfather, who stood up for his wonderful scholastic talents, And after his grandfather died too - was raised by Rabbi Chaim Sinvani. Rabbi Sharabi was ordained as a rabbi in Yemen, and after marrying Rebbetzin Leah, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to Torah study and holy life.

In 1931, Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi immigrated to Eretz Israel and came to Jerusalem, where he studied at the Beit El yeshiva. When he arrived in Jerusalem, the rabbi changed his surname to Sharabi - a name that marks his hometown, and also the acronym "Shalom to Bnei Yisrael".
In the year 5725 Rabbi Sharabi founded his Yeshivat "Nehar Shalom", a yeshiva near the Mahane Yehuda market. He became famous as a holy man and master of miracles, and many went to his door to receive blessings, good advice, and salvation.

The Sharabi couple were childless and invested all their energies in Torah study and charity. He transferred the money he had received in full to charity and held the meeting, while he himself lived in a very small and simple apartment.

Like many of the greatest kabbalists, Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi, zt "l, saw the process of redeeming Israel and establishing the state with a good eye and rejoicing in it. When he was once asked about the ways of leadership of Rav Kook zt "l (Chief Rabbi of Israel), in contrast to Rabbi Sonnenfeld zt"l ('Eda Haredis), replied that Rabbi Kook's path is more correct, for it says (about the Torah) - "Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace" (By Rabbi Amram Aborbae, zt "l, Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Petah Tikva).

(Rabbi Sharabi with Rabbi Ovadia ZT"'A)

Many of our greatest rabbis have learned from Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi, including Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Shlit"a, Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz, Rabbi Shalom Shmueli Shlita, Rabbi Dov Rokach, Rebbe of Belz and many more leaders of all returning communities.

Rabbi Sharabi was very weak in his body, and in recent years his students carried him on a chair. On March 24, 1984, Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi was asked to attend the meeting of Ma'aleh, and he was buried in Har HaMenuhot in Jerusalem. Many Torah institutions have been established in his name, for the study of the revealed and the hidden.

From the ADL to me:

Even as our hearts are breaking at the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in U.S. history, we want to help each other get through this difficult time. Here are ways you can take action:

• Stand with the Jewish community of Pittsburgh and beyond in sorrow, remembrance, tolerance and love by adding your name and note of support to ADL’s digital vigil.
• Consult our resources, including an array of resources for educators and families trying to find ways to discuss what happened and how to respond. Our resources for K-12 educators on issues of hate crimes and mass shootings are being shared with nearly 50,000 teachers who participate in our network.
• Join us to learn and be inspired at Never is Now, ADL’s annual one-day summit on anti-Semitism and hate, taking place in New York on December 3rd.

ADL offices around the country have helped organize or partner in more than 40 interfaith vigils with rabbis, reverends and imams so we can all grieve together.

The Mecca-based Muslim World League has issued a denunciation on Saturday’s massacre of 11 Jewish worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue by a white supremacist gunman.

The Saudi government-backed group’s secretary-general, Mohammed al-Issa, said in a statement that his group “strongly condemns the heinous attack on peaceful civilians and places of worship, and deemed the violation of their sanctity a criminal act.”

He added that “this terrorist attack is deprived of all principles and values and targeted the lives of peaceful and innocent civilians.”

The incident, he went on to say, “will only make our belief grow stronger in strengthening international solidarity and cooperation to confront extremism that knows no religion and race for the sake of realizing its evil objectives.”

If this had been a Muslim massacre they would be saying. It was the “ Racist Right Wing” , Trump on his immigration status of some Muslim Countries and the Gunnan was Jewish

Miri’s husband was born in Israel, and is the descendant of a Yemeni mother, and a Moroccan father. Miri’s mother and her family were forced to leave Yemen due to growing anti-semitism and the riots that followed. Miri’s paternal grandparents fled Libya right before the Second World War. Despite the hardships her family has endured, she does not want to hold a grudge.
