Prepare for the High Holy Days with this powerful ritual.

“The flowers we didn’t pick lived longer. Release, revise, remember. Renew.”

“This list is endless, there’s no reason to stop here, but…”

“Never actually reaching my heavenly destinations of holiness and righteousness, but striving all the way.”

“Who shall live in peace and who shall live without justice or peace…”

“I return to You Mother / please wash me clean / and send me strength / so, I can care for others like You care for me.”

“we can rise above the instincts that divide us / and discover the holiness that binds us together.”

“Elul is a bridge crossed in the fullness of summer, a path we begin to clear toward our imagined future.”

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