Cherry Hill resident is on mission to revive ancient greeting
|
|
To Esther Rabizadeh, the words of our ancestors have the power to unlock spiritual energy.
Her belief is so strong that the Cherry Hill resident known for her volunteer efforts aimed at unifying Jews is focusing her considerable energies into reviving the ancient greeting “Shalom Aleichim.” The phrase, to which the appropriate response is “Aleichem HaShalom,” packs an enormous amount of power, meaning and spirituality, connecting modern Jews to their storied past while spreading positive energy, goodness and the holiness of God, she said. In Hebrew, it translates to “peace be unto you."
