We do this Advent every year, and it’s a great celebration of the birth of Christ, and gives meaning to some of the traditions we practice.


The topic this week of the Advent is Love


What is Love?


A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it - A song's not a song 'til you sing it - Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay - Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
-Oscar Hammerstein



For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy (or passion) as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
nor can rivers drown it.
If a man tried to buy love
with all his wealth,
his offer would be utterly scorned.
-Song of Solomon 8:6b-7




Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

Love your neighbor as yourself.



God is love.


Shemah:

to hear, to listen, to allow the words to sink in, to provide understanding, and to generate a response



“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one! Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” -Deuteronomy 6:4-5
