“Arise, and let your dust be shed;
   Majestic garments don instead!
With the son of Jesse from Bethlehem appear;
  Redeem, and to my soul draw near.

Wake up, wake up! For come is your light!
  Arise and shine; may it be bright…”

That part where it says “Arise and shine” in hebrew is “Kumi Ori”, also found at the start of Isaiah chapter 60, and is the name of our congregation in Hamilton Ontario: Kehilat Kumi Ori.

This sabbath I invite you all to wake up to the Light, the son of Jesse from Bethlehem, and to know that He has come already! Shabbat shalom!
