As we begin the Torah anew with B’reishit, I’m reflecting on creation, creativity, and the practice of Visual Midrash—interpreting sacred text through art. Join me in exploring how color, prayer, and intention can illuminate the Divine spark within each of us.
In the Liminal Space Between Endings and Beginnings
Each year on Simchat Torah, we complete the reading of Deuteronomy and immediately begin Genesis, stepping into the liminal space between endings and beginnings. This sacred turning invites us to hold joy and sorrow, grief and hope, as we remember, reflect, and renew our connection to the Divine and to one another.

Standing Together in the Days of Awe
This week, as we read Parashat Vayelech and observe Shabbat Shuva—the Shabbat of Return—we are reminded of God’s abiding presence during the Ten Days of Awe. I’m sharing a new prayer, You Are Not Alone, along with a responsive reading, May I Find Forgiveness. May these words bring comfort, hope, and inspiration as we prepare for Yom Kippur.
Standing at the Precipice of the New Year
As we prepare to welcome 5786, Parashat Nitzavim invites us to pause at the threshold of a new year. In this week’s blog, I share my Torah illumination of Deuteronomy 30:6, my prayer At the Precipice, journaling prompts for reflection, and a closing blessing for a sweet and meaningful year ahead.
