A reading for the conclusion of the Passover seder about the ongoing journey toward liberation

"may each of us / remove the shackles of another"

An encyclopedia of archetypical prayers combined with inspirational readings and spiritual practices

"Being Jewish / shapes and shades my poetry / forms and reforms my soul..."

An amazing thing happened a few days ago. I was enjoying my lunch in the break room of the retail store I help to manage when one of my colleagues came rushing into the room. “Erika!” he exclaimed, “Come here! Now!” I was annoyed because I was on my break and protested the entire way to the sales floor. “Look,” he said gesturing toward a corner of the floor. I looked and saw an admittedly cute blonde French bulldog, but only responded, “Cute dog.” “No,” he persisted. “Look.” He cocked his head sharply and again looked toward the corner.

"I wish I could make enough soup to nourish the broken, injured, hurting, praying, people of the world."

How could I replace an empty exercise with something meaningful?
