What follows is,
nine
pages of content, which is a lot, and then, all
the music is
spread over
them. You may
want to say,
“Lemme at the
music.” you
may want to
say. Well, I
offer two
options. You
may choose my
sampler — like
Whitman’s —
which runs 24
minutes. I
hope you find
it equally
tasty. Click

As
I write this
(early August,
2020), the
COVID-19
pandemic is
raging. We are
a fractured
people, profoundly
in need of
healing.
Having been
gifted this mitzvah,
from sixteen
years a hazzan
in a Catholic
church. I have
been blessed
to invite you
to experience
the music of
the Roman
Catholic
liturgy
through the
unique lens of
a Jewish
Unitarian
Universalist,
embracing
multiple faith
traditions and
musical
idioms, from
Klezmer to
vocal jazz, an
ecumenist with
roots in
prophetic
Judaism and
radical
Unitarian
Universalist
Christianity,
leavened with
Sufism, itself
rooted in
mystical
Islam.
And
so we say,
Bismillah
ir Rahman ir
Rahim,
We
begin in the
name of the
One, the
Divine Source
Who is
Mercy and
Compassion.
May
all beings
have happiness
and the causes
of happiness.
May
all beings be
free from
sorrow and the
causes of
sorrow
Blessed
be.
Metanoia (μετάνοια) is a Greek word literally
translated as
“change of
mind”. Yet the
full meaning
is deeper than
just that. In
the New
Testament (the
Christian
Bible), the
word is often
translated as
“repentance”.
But this kind
of repentance
is not about
regret or
guilt or
shame; it
implies making
a decision to
turn around,
to face a new
direction.
Today we might
say “radical
transformation,”
where the
inherent worth
and dignity of
all of our
brothers and
sisters and
non-binary
siblings are
respected
within the
interdependent
web of all
existence of
which we are
all a part.
“Metanoia
— a Mass to
Heal the
World” is
dedicated to
my parents,
Jean and Dr.
Abraham
Zwickel, whose
lives-long
dedication to
peace and
social
justice, to
combating the
hatred and
violence
against “the
other” that so
permeates our
society and
our lives, has
been my
life’s
greatest
inspiration.
We must redouble our efforts to, in all things and in
all ways, in
our acts and
thoughts,
decisions and
deeds, reflect
the
understanding
and compassion
that is of all
our faith
traditions,
and be
steadfastly on
the side of
love.

As we gather in this sacred place, let us be
mindful of
each others’
humanity, our
Beloved
Community. Namaste.
The Divine in
me
acknowledges
the Divine in
each and every
one of you.
Preface:
We acknowledge our Dark
nature in
these
turbulent
times, even
embrace it.
Let us pass
through it,
toward the
One, the
embodiment of
Tikkun Olam
— the repair
of the world.
Regard the
Trinity of the
three
Abrahamic
faith
traditions as
a parallel the
Trimoortis
of Hinduism:
Brahma, who
creates the
universe;
Vishnu, who
preserves the
universe;
Shiva, who
destroys the
universe. Hold
the precious
spirit of Gaia
in meditation,
visualize the
Lotus blossom
in the Namu
Myōhō Renge
Kyō as the
manifestation
of healing,
its
beauty-energy
radiating out,
the balm of
Gilead
repairing a
sin-sick
world. Namaste;
shanti; om
mani padme
hum; shalom,
salaam, mir
— Peace.
