Matot-Masei reminds us that we are not meant to journey alone. May we find strength along the way—and become a source of strength for those who travel beside us.
Prayer
Healing Light
In this deeply personal reflection on Parashat Beha’alotecha, I write about finding strength in overwhelming times, praying for healing for those I love, and the sacred call to create communities of dignity, blessing, and belonging during Pride Month.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer has become one of the ways I keep showing up—with hope, courage and love—through overwhelming times. In this post, I share how prayer journaling became part of my spiritual practice, along with handwritten prayers, healing prayer templates, and customizable Mi Shebeirach offerings from ZenScribe.
Sharing Our Stories
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
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.
Choosing Joy in Troubling Times
How do we choose joy when our hearts are heavy and the world feels unsteady? This reflection for Adar and Parashat Vayakhel explores what it means to hold sorrow and joy together through community, gratitude, prayer, creativity, and hope.
