Book excerpt: This book is for anyone who enjoys poetry, meditations & affirmations. As you purposefully read the words presented in this book, may your spirit be uplifted in the brightest light... as powerful as the moon and stars in the Shabbat evening sky. May the words in this book nourish your soul, giving you water to ensure your roots are deeply embedded in the earth and your branches reach high to the clear blue sky... expansive and free. As your heart opens and your eyes see the light burning from the evening candles reflecting rays of love from the earthy wine, may you praise and worship as you feed on the bread of life. Break this bread, drink this wine... and meditate in the joy and peace of being, giving and receiving profound AHAVA (LOVE). Shabbat Shalom - Dr. Tarece Forward by Rabbi Brad Levenberg
