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

“May the spirit of truth and justice / that lives within us / find the courage to cry out”
