Rabbi Olivier has compiled a new worship booklet for our Shabbat services. This booklet will debut and make its inaugural performance at our March 16 Meditative Services at Unity. We are excited to give you a sneak peak (see below) of this booklet.

Wow! Big changes!
Will the liturgy change much?
Is it still possible to include, I am alive…
Ay.. li lee liy lee liy lee liy, I am alive (3x)
And who is this aliveness I am? (3x)
It is not the holy blessed one.
Love How
Hi Howard,
I didn’t include “I am alive” because it is an easy song to quickly learn and anyone can pick it up within seconds of us singing it, especially because there is no Hebrew in it. We will absolutely continue to sing it at services as this is one of my favorite songs. But with all the hand motions that go with it, this is not one of these songs you can hold the prayer booklet and sing at the same time anyways.
The liturgy will not change much. This expanded version gives us more options to deepen our connection through prayers and meditations.
Thanks for asking.
Rabbi Olivier
Is it possible to still have the prayerbook linked here? I sometimes look at the pdf during the day.
