אַשְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶֽךָ, עוֹד יְהַלְלֽוּךָ סּֽלָה
ASHREI YOSHVE VEYTECHA
Happy are those who dwell in your house.”
.
These words taken from the Psalms, and part of the prayer service, are traditionally said upon entering a synagogue. I believe that the tradition of reciting Ashrei is also appropriate as we return “home!” At Congregation Brothers of Israel, we try to create an educated, proud, vibrant, and “happy” community of learners.
