“Yet turning to You for strength/Is as natural as breathing air”

“we’ve counted for millennia, and still we count”

“Here, in hearth of heart, / All is made whole.”

“We do not celebrate Shabbat, / We receive it.”

“The yarzeit light shines with the light of their souls”

“Draped open, the Torah frames, / Our bedposts / Their cyclical story revealing / A midrash made flesh.”

“Each has gazed at many mountains / Over this past year; / Peaks of the infected, / Deserts of the isolated.”
