Latest Rituals

  This July 4th haftarah/prophetic chant is an opportunity to engage with and re-imagine some of our country’s iconic texts on freedom and independence.
“…marching in beautiful displays of disruptive light…”
As I bend / hanging laundry on the drying rack / my back twinges    but just a little

“Be careful that you do not mistake human beings for the state”

“Repair the rent garments of our souls”

“Let us transcend ourselves and be the arms / of Shekhinah

Prayer for our country

Originally written for Human Rights Shabbat, this prayer seeks to capture the hope that the social justice teachings of Torah, and the ethical impulses they inspire, will be mirrored in the actions of our governments on all levels.
