This story is a brief excerpt of Miriam and Her Dancing Shoes by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso.

“I sing and dance because at last my limbs, my blood and my voice are finally my own, and they are sweet.”

“The held-back sea, somehow both still and moving— / it pulls her back to kneeling by the river…”

“May we be better ancestors than descendants, / writing a blueprint for a better future than we inherited.”

A new teaching about freedom, liberation and choosing.

“Sing a new / Song / Together / We can / We will / Reach the other side…”

“For every exile, every pain / A promise whispers once again…”

“Speaking is my right. / and until someone takes my voice, / I will continue to speak.”

These new additions to the Amidah add created to recite leading up to the Presidential the election.

The power to bless is the power / to choose.
