“For the earth that burns, may healing rains fall swiftly.”

“We are here together.  We survived the rain together.  / It was not a deluge and no trees fell…” 

“May we never forget that we are all connected, historically, relationally, energetically, and that harm to one is harm to all.”

“We signed on to a covenant: / If we take care of the earth / it will take care of us.”

“I saw, in our decaf, the plea for rain / we ask on behalf of the god of our ancestors”

“Through the hundreds of mitzvot / You are trying to teach us / How to live a life / In reverence of interconnection…”

A blessing for a day with clean air.

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

“We stand on the edge of possibility and loss”

Tekhine connecting the mitzvah of honoring our parents with the mitzvah of caring for Mother Earth
