Finding Hope in Uncertain Times:

June 20, 2025 by Joanne Fink

This week’s blog explores how to hold on to hope during uncertain times, how to let our inner light shine in the darkness, and how to draw strength from community. It includes a prayer for Israel, and my illustration and prayer for this week’s Torah portion, Shelach. I’ve also included an updated version of my 10 Tools for Challenging Times, with journaling prompts to help guide your own spiritual exploration.

Prayers for Peace, Strength, Hope and Healing

June 13, 2025 by Joanne Fink

This week’s blog explores the power of prayer in times of uncertainty—both global and personal.
From a heartfelt plea for peace in Israel and the Middle East, to Moses’ ancient cry for healing in Parashat Behaalotecha, we are reminded that even the simplest prayers can hold immense strength.
I’m also sharing “Healing Light,” a caregiver’s prayer for those walking beside a loved one through illness.

The Art of Blessing

June 6, 2025 by Joanne Fink

This week’s blog explores the sacred power of blessing—how we give it, receive it, and embody it.
Featuring my latest illustration of the Priestly Blessing, a Contemporary Birkat Kohanim, nightly blessings I send to my daughter, a story of how one piece of art inspired a song, this post invites you to reflect on how you can use your unique gifts to be a blessing in the world.
