It made no sense to me that I, as a secular Jew, could not
access my religion because I simply did not have the tools. My epiphany was
whilst walking down a mountain in Kashmir thinking of studying all manner of
cultures and religions. No doubt these others are all interesting and special
in their own right, but you, Richard, don't even know the first thing about
your own religion! And the little bit that you do know (from general knowledge)
is that Judaism and the Jewish people have made huge POSITIVE contributions to
human civilisation - like the moral code on which Western Civilisation is based
aka THE HEBREW BIBLE aka THE TORAH aka THE OLD TESTAMENT. The 64 track music CD
album set "We Sing We Stay Together" of the Shabbat Morning
Service Prayers, and a companion Sing-Along Prayer Book of the same name (to
make it beyond easy to learn) is what I would have wanted all those years ago
when I was being Barmitzvah - there was no ladder for me to climb on board and
participate. This is going to help everyone, access for all, no prior knowledge
required. Please ENJOY it, be happy and SING, these prayers belong to you. All
my love, Richard Collis.
