JERUSALEM365 - Serving God Through Joy and Song ✡ "Be Glad and Exult With All Your Heart"

Sing, O daughter of Zion!  Sound the trumpet, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!

ZEPHANIAH (3:14)
 

רָנִּי בַּת צִיּוֹן הָרִיעוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׂמְחִי וְעָלְזִי בְּכָל לֵב בַּת יְרוּשָׁלִָם

ra-nee bat tzee-on ha-ree-u yees-ra-ayl seem-khee v'-al'-zee b'-khol layv bat y'-ru-sha-la-yeem

Jerusalem Inspiration

The prophet Zephaniah, one of the 12 minor prophets, calls for song and praise over the redemption of Jerusalem. The Torah itself rejects a stern and ascetic approach towards religion, and commands us to serve God in happiness and love. As Yom Kippur approaches, our days are filled with conflicting emotions; the understandable fear of judgement day, as well as comfort and satisfaction knowing that God seeks to shower us with blessing, and wants us to worship him with joy and love.

Worshipping With Joy and Song

Check out this video of young men singing in the streets of Jerusalem.  They are singing the words "ivdu et Hashem b'simcha", worship God with happiness. Join in!
 

Providing the Positive

We are barraged with pessimism and disapproval at every turn. Positive words provide a counterbalance. One man does something to provide this counterbalance.
