“When I think of my mother / I still smell her butter cakes…”

This guided meditation is designed to be part of a Yizkor service,

“To speak their names, to light a flame…”

“In an age when / searching for home / in a soup / makes sense.”

“Count instead the growing number of cared-fors you have lost…”

Hear, O Israel / the prayer was dance / Adonai Eloheinu / there were no pews

“We are at the beginning / Of new cycles / In a world that is ours / Transcending time and space.”

“Grief and memory hold hands / as, broken-hearted, we find our way through the Jewish year”

An introduction to the Zikhronot section of the Rosh Hashanah liturgy

“We will return to you, / you will return to us.”
