Dear Shomrim member or friend,
The families of Rabbi Gaviel and Rivka Holzberg, who were murdered in the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, have requested people light Shabbos candles on Friday evening to welcome the Sabbath and add light and warmth to the world.
Please honor their memory with this simple but very important mitzvah.
The proper time for lighting the candles in the New York area go to click here.
The traditional way to light candles on friday night is:
- Light the candles.
- Read the blessing from the paper (without looking at the candles).
- Close your eyes and say a silent prayer for whatever is important to you.
- Open your eyes, see the flame and know you have just added light to our world.
- Wish everyone present, a good shabbos or a shabbat shalom
(a sabbath filled with peace).
- Kiss your loved ones and remind them how much you love them.
Please save this for future weeks.
May the light of our collective candles brighten the world and warm our hearts.
May the one who watches over all, protect us and our loved ones throughout "2009" and grant us peace, health and happiness.
NYPD Shomrim
Board of Directors
Welcome to the
New York City Police Department
Shomrim Society Website!
The NYPD Shomrim Society is a fraternal organization of Jewish members of the
New York City Police Department.
Israel is fighting terrorism again. As you read these lines the IDF is in the midst of a military campaign against Hamas terror bases in the Gaza strip. Hamas has been launching rockets against Sderot and other towns in southern Israel for the last 8 years.
Now is the time to show solidarity with Israel. Join Shomrim on its 21FEB solidarity mission to Israel. We will be joined by a group of Christians from The Holy Name Society who have already signed up for it! We will stay in places far away from the areas attacked by Hamas and most likely it will all be over by the time we get there (due to the IDF activity in Gaza), but we must show Israel that we care and that we come no matter what.
For full details call today Sam Miller at (347) 723-6708 or David Dinour from aviatours at 1-888-574-2566.
SHOMRIM PRAYER
for SOLDIERS and POLICE OFFICERS
of ISRAEL and the UNITED STATES
He who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – may He bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the holy cities that are Yours from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Arovah, on the land, in the air and on the sea. May He bless and protect the soldiers of the United States of America and our Allies, who risk their lives to protect and defend not only our borders but our right to Freedom and Democracy, here on our land and wherever we are threatened. May He bless and protect the Police Officers of New York City and all Law Enforcement Officers and Agents of this great Nation, who at the risk of their own lives protect the citizens of our city and this country from those who wish us harm. May He preserve and rescue all these courageous ‘Shomrim’ from every trouble, distress, plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor. May He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse:
"For it is Hashem, your God, who goes with you to battle your enemies for you, to save you".
Now let us respond: Amen
