“Make room beyond the river for my sister, who / is singing Miriam’s song…”

Rabbi Emily Aronson created this powerful new blessing based on Birkat Kohanim, the Priestly Benediction.

This blessing honors the soul present inside every human.

“Blessed is God, Ruler of the Universe, who created people with disabilities in Your image. / Blessed is God, who cherishes disabled lives and desires that they flourish and thrive.”

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

“May we be liberated by the expanse of our gifts”

“May this ramp serve as a conduit of Torah / Honoring the dignity of each member of our community”
