This week’s Torah portion, Re’eh, reminds us that life is filled with choices—both large and small—and that our decisions ripple outward to shape the world around us. As we welcome the month of Elul, a season of cheshbon hanefesh (soul-accounting), may we choose wisely, bless abundantly, and prepare our hearts for the journey of t’shuvah.
Blessing
Sacred Spaces:
“How goodly are your tents, O Jacob…”
This week’s blog reflects on sacred space, both physical and spiritual. I share my Torah illumination and prayer for parasha Balak, photos from the ALEPH Kallah, a heartfelt prayer for those impacted by the Texas floods, and an invitation to join my Zoom Havurah.
The Art of Blessing
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.
