Hi Everyone,
I believe that when we reach out in love and kindness to others, we create a sacred space for God to dwell inside our heart. The more we are inspired to be our best selves— to freely and generously share our gifts— the larger this space becomes.
In this week’s Torah portion, Terumah תְּרוּמָה (usually translated as ‘gift’ or ‘freewill offering’), we read that God wants “an offering from every person whose heart inspires him to generosity”. Exodus 25:2. Both the Dangle House design and the prayer were inspired by this concept.
MAY YOU FIND GOD

May the gifts you freely share
help you connect to
the Mishkan of your Soul—
the Sacred Space
where the Divine Presence dwells
May you find God
in the tears you cry
the pain you feel
and the moments that take your breath away
May you find God
in unexpected encounters
unanswerable questions
and in the face of everyone you meet
May every act
of kindness, courage
defiance and love
be an invitation to God
to dwell
within your heart
within your mind
within your soul
May the light of God’s love
illuminate your path
As always, you are welcome to share (with attribution). L’shalom,
Joanne
