Parashat Re’eh reminds us that our choices matter. As Elul approaches, we are invited to practice cheshbon hanefesh—an accounting of the soul—to see where we are, envision where we hope to go, and open our hearts to possibility through prayer, reflection, journaling, and creativity.

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
