Journey Towards Revelation

May 21, 2026 by Joanne Fink

As Shavuot leads us back to Sinai and Parashat Naso offers the timeless words of the Priestly Blessing, I’m sharing original prayers, artwork, and a reflection on what it means to receive blessing—and become a blessing. I’m also highlighting ZenScribe, a beautiful and easy way to create personalized Judaic certificates, with a 30% discount through the end of May.

Sharing Our Stories

April 26, 2026 by Joanne Fink

In this reflection on Acharei Mot–Kedoshim, I share a personal update on my family’s cancer journey, the lifesaving importance of BRCA awareness for Ashkenazi Jews, and the spiritual strength of Netzach that helps us keep going with love, courage, and elevated intention.

Hope, Healing and Holding On

April 18, 2026 by Joanne Fink

This week, Torah, the Jewish calendar, and personal experience converge in a powerful way. As we read Parashat Tazria-Metzora, enter the healing month of Iyar, and count the Omer through the lens of Tiferet, I reflect on what it means to hold hope and heartbreak at the same time while accompanying both my daughter and my father on their cancer journeys.

Invitation to Distinguish

April 10, 2026 by Joanne Fink

Reflections on Parashat Shemini, Gevurah, Havdalah and Yom HaShoah There is something deeply meaningful about the word ul’havdil — to distinguish, to separate, to see clearly. In Parashat Shemini, we are told: “You must distinguish between the holy and the profane.” (Leviticus 10:10) This command isn’t only for the ancient priests standing at the threshold of the Tent […]

Counting the Omer: A Spiritual Journey

March 31, 2026 by Joanne Fink

The seven-week journey from Pesach to Shavuot invites us into reflection, growth, and spiritual awakening. In this post, I’m sharing a new resource I created—Counting the Omer: A Spiritual Journey—a guided journal filled with weekly sefirot teachings, daily prompts, blessings, reflections, and artwork to deepen the Omer practice.

Tending the Flame

March 27, 2026 by Joanne Fink

As we enter Shabbat HaGadol, the Great Shabbat before Passover, we find ourselves standing at a sacred threshold—between preparation and remembrance, between liberation and revelation. In this week’s reflection, I explore the spiritual journey of Counting the Omer, the seven lower sefirot, and the call to tend the holy flame of hope, faith, and love. I’m also delighted to share that my new guided journal, Counting the Omer: A Spiritual Journey, is now available as a digital download in the shop.
