A poem on counting the years with your grandchildren.

A prayer for understanding when faced with antisemitism

“Through the hundreds of mitzvot / You are trying to teach us / How to live a life / In reverence of interconnection…”

“And wherever there is Pride, there is hope. / And wherever there is hope, there is joy. / And wherever there is joy, there is life. / And that life is sweet, and full of love.”

“Shabbat holds / Herself open. / All we need do / Is breathe, / And receive Her.”

“May our breaths continue / And our health and the health of all / Be preserved / In this time of haze, fire and climate disaster.”

“May memory be a protective seawall / to re-call me: / it’s all about the breath.”

“We will sing for freedom, / clap our hands for freedom.”
