Instruments of Peace   

December 14, 2011

Greetings!

 

Three voices woven together, three Abrahamic faiths supporting each other, for the good of the world. Imagine!

 

La ilaha illa 'lla.
"There is no God but God."

Make me an instrument of your peace. 
Where there is hated, let me sow love.
From the Prayer of St. Francis

Oseh shalom, bimromav. Hu ya'haseh shalom aleinu.
"He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace."

Sung by Juliet Rabia Gentile, Rabbi David Ingber, and Rafael Candelaria. Music by Isaac Everett. This 3-part song was used at several Faith House events in New York City and is now available to you and your community! 

 

When you make a year-end donation of $50 or more by December 31, we will email you the MP3 and sheet music with permission for your personal use or for use with the community/congregation where you are a member or leader (up to 300 people). For permission to use it in any other congregation or for any other purpose, email us at office@faithhousemanhattan.org.

 

Inspire your family, friends, church, mosque, synagogue, or wider community! And please let us know.
