Alan Youkeles was the first person I met at CEH. He was so warm and welcoming and he is the reason that I started getting involved at the synagogue (he put Adam Cohen and me on a strategic planning committee that he was running). V’Shamru is his favorite Friday night prayer – always sung loudly and with his whole body moving from side to side. Singing this on Friday nights reminds me of him and encourages me to follow his example and welcome people to the shul. May his memory be for a blessing.
Editor’s note: we had two submission for V’Shamru. So thanks to Rose-Ella and an anonymous submittor for highlighting this piece of music. Learn More.
