Our Fabled Shabbos Table

Shabbos Table True Fable Our family "Heimish" setting, Replete with 2 lighted candles letting, Blessings, my wife's "Emunah" truly abetting. 6 days' worries & scurries set aside, allayed, 2 lights cleansing in noble "Dr. Suess" style displayed, Candlesticks' "Curved Art", due to years of use arrayed. Bluma Yehudis's beautiful voice, her simple innocence, Capturing a crystalline semblance, Of each of our spiritual en-trance. 2 "Challah Bagels" offered gratefully to "Hashem", Each one a symbol, "Remembering" & "Guarding" them, The 24 hours of rest, from creative labors, not physical ones, we stem. "When wine goes in, truth comes out", Liquid sunshine savored in moderation, no gout, And to boot, enhances melodious singing aloud. Other Yidden heard through our window, grace the night, Melodies heard so clear, listening is like eyesight, Each "Niggun" inspiring, not the least bit trite. Shabbos graces us each with an extra "Neshama", Meaning Soul, from "Breath", exhaled into each "Guf" by "HaRachaman" Gifting "Bina", or understanding, & appetite for my wife's "Manna". In Bina we listen to each other, to Torah "Tools & Dies", Attending to Hashem's word, true hearing with eyes, Conversing, not the least, with your loved's ties. Singing "Shir HaMa'Alos" in unison, Brings us together as each other's & His chosen ones, Bonding warmly, embracing each other by voices' tones. Afternoon naps, enjoying playing Bananagrams, Invigorating, rejuvenating, noncompetitive lambs, Sharing dreams, emotions, wits & words, ignoring weekday scrams. "Davening", or praying, to Hashem for ours & others' welfare, Ending domestic disputes among us, pointless warfare, Huge blessings & tiny like "Shalom", health and carfare. All this in our Shabbos? I barely skimmed... " There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy!"
