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

“I want to know this: did God see you / trying as hard as you could / to live?”

“This is the time of year I love”

“And we will see to it that justice, the kind you fought for and died protecting, ever reigns”

“the chord structure in my ears-heart-mind-body-soul”

“This year we have someone new joining our Seder table”

“It’s my first time / to take up the rhythm, / keep count”

“It is by means of the dark / That the hidden light can finally be seen”

“My soul bridges two rich ancient traditions”

“As this day begins its dark descent / our tongues go dry again”
