“Find the threads of connection and tie them to the edges of your self – call them tzitzit.” 

“Breathe. I command myself to focus on the words Shema Yisrael…”

An Elul 5783 teaching by Rabbi Janet Madden

“Shabbat holds / Herself open. / All we need do / Is breathe, / And receive Her.”

“May our breaths continue / And our health and the health of all / Be preserved / In this time of haze, fire and climate disaster.”

“May memory be a protective seawall / to re-call me: / it’s all about the breath.”

Envision your breath as a stream of clear light flowing from you into the shofar. 

“Each moment a result of God’s compassion”

“May we honor the earth that has received the remnants of that which has been destroyed”

In memory of George Floyd and thousands more since 1619
