It's a famous line"May God bless you and keep you."
the priests all said it.
"May the face of God
shine on you and be gracious
unto you and yours."
"May God's face lift up
to you and may you always
find completeness -- peace."
The Priestly Blessing is the centerpiece of this week's Torah portion, Naso.
The Hebrew root of the word "shalom," which means peace, is "shalem" -- which means wholeness or completeness. Only when we have completeness...in ourselves, in the world...can we truly find peace.
May you find blessings, completeness, and peace on this Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom!
