“Cosmic Companion and Champion of the Stranger, remind those who await redemption of their infinite worth…”

Based on the havdalah ceremony, this ritual focuses on compassion and self-care

“If we open onto teshuvah / We might push through the gate of compassion…”

One day it was all too much, // the princely façade cracked at the sight // Of overseers doing what they really do // when no one is looking. // The lash laid fiery welts along the back of a slave // And Moses felt the burn.

“God who weeps with us all, / hold my aching heart…”

“a place of rebuilding / a place of peace / my destination”

“We will hold on to goodness/ We will hold on to each other…”
