Shabbat Shirah 2023 / שַׁבָּת שִׁירָה 5783

Shabbat of Song 🕍

Shabbat Shirah for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Friday, 3 February 2023 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 4 February 2023. This corresponds to Parashat Beshalach.

Shabbat Shirah (“Sabbath [of] song” שבת שירה) is the name given to the Shabbat that includes Parsha Beshalach. The Torah reading of the week contains the Song of the sea (Exodus 15:1–18). This was the song by the Children of Israel after the Passage of the Red Sea

Ketubah (marriage contract), Jerusalem, Israel, 2002. on paper.

This ketubah was created by American born Israeli artist and calligrapher David Moss for the marriage of his son Yonatan. Moss was among the first artists to renew the tradition of hand-written and decorated ketubot. He has served as an inspiration and mentor to many artists who have continued the work that he began and still continues to do.

In contrast to those of the past, modern ketubot are quite personal and designed specifically for a particular bridal couple. This ketubah is no different. Its theme is Creation. It evokes the relationship of God to his creation and the relationship of all beings to their Creator. With this theme the artist has merged the Talmudic background of the groom with the interest of the bride in Jewish ecology. The leaves and flowers that surround the text suggest the Garden of Eden and the bottom blue cartouche contains a quote from one of the 7 blessings recited at a Jewish wedding ceremony that connects the couple to Eden. Framing the entire document is an ancient midrashic text called Perek Shirah. In it all elements of creation from the sun and the moon to all the animals praise God, each in its own words. Written in micrography, Moss also painted a tiny image of each creature placed next to the passage in which it is mentioned. x

Di Bogor kemarin, ada buku shirah Tabiin yang ketika dibaca cerita-cerita didalamnya memberikan banyak sekali pembelajaran. Jadi kangen baca buku itu lagi :""

Salah satu cuplikan, pembicaraan seorang khalifah dengan seorang tabiin.

K : Kenapa kita benci kematian?

T : Karena kita makmurkan dunia dan hancurkan akhirat. Kita benci keluar dari kemakmuran menuju kehancuran

K : Bagaimana kelak kita menghadap Allah?

T : Orang baik akan pulang ke Allah seperti perantau pulang ke keluarganya. Orang jahat akan pulang ke Allah seperti budak yang curang dan lari, diseret ke majikannya dengan keras

K : Bagaimana cara perbaiki diri?

T : Tinggalkan kesombongan dan hiasi dengan menjaga kehormatan

Shabbat Shirah, the Sabbath of Song!  Possibly not the favorite Shabbat of people with hearing issues.  So for this Shabbat Shirah, let’s bring the beauty of our liturgy to more people!  “Shehu noteh shamayim” is part of the Aleinu prayer.  Almost all congregations I’ve ever been at treat it as a second paragraph, though it isn’t; it’s the second half of the first paragraph.  The thing is that Salomon Sulzer wrote this fantastic melody for the first half of the paragraph, which almost everyone sings.  Then, either you read the rest silently, or you switch to this tune (an actual Hasidic melody, as far as I can tell) for the rest of that paragraph.

This tune is usually sung much faster and more smoothly, but in this video, the melody is secondary.  Most people know it.  The important thing is to see how this bit of prayer appears in Sign.  (I’m assuming that the Sign here is ASL, though if anyone can confirm or deny, I’d love to hear it.) Just because someone can’t hear the singing and chanting very well doesn’t mean they should be excluded from the kahal.  There is no reason to exclude anyone, and prayers in Sign are wonderful for that.

Cote de Pablo as Shirah in The Dovekeepers (x12)

Post 1065

And he wept as each family called for the maximum punishment: life in prison.

Cody Shirah, Florida inmate Q31603, born 1995, incarceration intake March 2018 at age 22, scheduled for release March 2075

DUI Manslaughter x4, Possession Controlled Substance, Possession Methamphetamine, Assault with Weapon

In 2018, despite his attempts to convince the jury otherwise, Cody Austin Shirah was convicted of drunkenly plowing through a stop sign in September 2016 and killing four visiting Ohio softball players.

Immediately after receiving the verdict, Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet sentenced the 22-year-old Shirah to 60 years in prison and accepted part of the blame for releasing Shirah on drug offender probation, resulting from a prior conviction, only months before the fatal crash.

It took jurors about two and a half hours to find Shirah guilty as charged of fleeing the scene of a crash, four counts of DUI manslaughter and a count of DUI with bodily injury. After hearing the verdict, Overstreet also heard statements from the family members of the four victims.

Shirah wept as each family called for the maximum punishment: life in prison.

Shirah stood before the court and pleaded for leniency from the court and forgiveness from the families of his victims. He was not greeted with sympathy.

In the final day of trial, Shirah attempted to convince jurors of his version of events leading up to the crash. He took the stand to say he had only consumed two beers that night at a friend’s house and was heading home when he clipped a truck on U.S. 231 he was attempting to pass. Shirah claimed he tried to stop and swap information, but the driver of the other truck became “very aggressive.”

Shirah said he then fled out of fear down Pinetree Road with the mother of his child, Kristun Nichole Tullier, in the passenger seat. As he approached the intersection with John Pitts Road, Shirah did not see the headlights of the van carrying the softball players pull into his path, he claimed.

“I was scared. The way he was acting, if I stopped, he would’ve hit me,” Shirah said, tearing up. “I didn’t see the stop sign. I was looking in my rear-view mirror behind me at the vehicle that was chasing me.”

Despite admitting to drinking two beers — which was contrary to the findings of expert toxicology witnesses from both sides that testified his blood alcohol content was above the legal limit of 0.08 percent — Shirah would not agree his consumption constituted “multiple beers.”

The jury sided with the prosecution.

By giving his testimony, Shirah admitted he willfully violated his probation on three felonies by drinking alcohol and being out after his curfew. He faced up to an additional 15 years in prison, but Overstreet sentenced him to five years in prison concurrent with one of the DUI manslaughter sentences.

Before handing down the sentence, though, Judge Overstreet took part of the blame for the fatal crash. Only months earlier, he had released Shirah on drug offender probation.

“When these people consider how this happened, it started with this sentence. I did that,” Overstreet told Shirah, shaking his head. “Every opportunity was afforded for you to live lawfully and address your problems with substance abuse. The system has failed this family, and I bear some responsibility for that.”
