We do not always get to choose the journeys that change our lives. Through Parashat Lech Lecha, memories of my husband Andy, and the love that accompanies us, I explore journeying towards wholeness. This week’s post includes my prayer “Not Knowing,” awareness of inherited cancer risk, and an invitation to connect through art and sacred text.
Jewish Art
A Rainbow of Hope
The rainbow in Parashat Noach reminds us that even after upheaval and loss, there is room for hope, connection and possibility. This week, I share reflections on belonging, a new prayer and practical resources for caregivers, and a blessing for Pride Shabbat.
Words to Light Our Path
As we begin another Torah cycle, which words will light our path? Through Visual Midrash, prayers, and reflections on Simchat Torah, we make room for celebration and remembrance, discover meaning in familiar stories, and explore ways to care for ourselves and one another.
Cultivating Joy in an Uncertain World
Sukkot invites us to rejoice even as we acknowledge life’s uncertainty. Through prayer, art, and guided journaling, I explore how gratitude, creativity, and connection can help us cultivate joy alongside all that we carry.
At the Threshold of 5787
As we stand together at the threshold of 5787, we pause to reflect, pray, and offer blessings for ourselves, our communities, our clergy and service leaders, and our world.
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.
