As we begin the Torah anew with B’reishit, I reflect on the light we bring through creativity, compassion, and connection. This week’s post includes Torah illuminations, a blessing for Cheshvan, and my daughter’s perspective on living with metastatic breast cancer—and the support that helps.
Torah
Seeking, Hoping, Believing
During the sacred days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Parashat Ha’azinu reminds us that we do not journey alone. As we seek forgiveness, connection, and a path forward, may we hold hope in our hearts and trust in our capacity to return, renew, and begin again.
Choosing Life, Choosing Hope
As the final days of Elul draw closer, Parashat Nitzavim-Vayeilech invites us to pause, take stock, and then move forward. We stand together, return to what matters most, choose life and hope, and prepare our hearts for Selichot and the New Year.
The Blessings We Carry
Some Torah verses live on the page; others become part of how we live. This week, Parashat Ki Tavo invites us to look for the blessings we carry, the blessings we share, and the ways we can help repair what is broken.
Teshuvah: The Work of Returning
Elul invites us to pause, reflect, and begin the sacred work of teshuvah. Through Parashat Shoftim, guided journaling, and simple daily practices, we begin a journey of reflection, release, repair, and return.
Journey Towards Revelation
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.
