“There is holiness / in the face of a flower…”
“Make room beyond the river for my sister, who / is singing Miriam’s song…”
“In Shvat, we cross a threshold / into a mysterious realm / hidden within ourselves and the deep interior of trees…”
“It’s exhausting. / Like, literally, exhausting, / being a Gen-Z Jew these days…”

“I offer instead / my presence…”
“One time, we tried to learn a line dance / where we linked arms in order of the generations…”
“In this place, this sacred place, in the Court of Justice, the Court of G-d, / we are all equal, and we are all a blessing.”
