Soul Guiding Prayer

A white rosebud covered in water droplets against a dark green blurred background.

Rabbi Geela Rayzel Raphael wrote this prayer of comfort after Oct. 7, 2023.

The Heron Knows

A gray heron with outstretched wings flies low above a rippling body of water.

“The Blue Heron / flies slow / through the wetlands…”

Ruakh

Wispy white clouds stretch across a deep blue sky, creating a dynamic, airy pattern.

“Here we greet / The firmament / Of Heaven…”

Seeds of Hope

Field of yellow dandelions in bloom under a clear blue sky, with trees in the distance on the right.

“Roses bloom in radiant resistance /
Dandelions scatter like wild prayers…”
