The Taste of Praise

Close-up of a stack of matzo crackers with a blurred background.

“To mark the haste with which we fled, / we now eat matzah for eight days”

The Last Sand Dune

Sunrise over a sandy dune with grass and plants, clear sky, and calm ocean in the distance.

“What did it feel like to step over 
that last sand dune one day after 
walking forty years in the desert 
and suddenly smell the sea?”

Over the Next Hill

Rocky shoreline with calm water at sunset, sky glowing with soft pink and purple hues.

“How mighty is our God who hears our prayers /  and guides us through the / wilderness / of doubt and anxiety” 

Like Manna from Heaven

“Everything melted away except for the taste of warm dough
and the salty reminder that we all come from the sea and 
are nurtured by grains of the earth.”

Abun-dance

“The blood-red droplets / make me think of Passover /. when we count and recount / the plagues our ancestors endured.”
