Good morning! A launch of a new week of learning, of sharing, of growing. May we transmit the lessons we've learned to the next generation! #LedorVador #fromGenerationtoGeneration

Emerge from the grief of Tisha Be'Av, and start the powerful journey of comfort and rebuilding! #ShabbatShalom #ShabbatNachamu

A morning reflection for Tisha Be'Av, and some chanting

Preparing for a day of meaning and mourning, knowing that even if we're ritually alone, we are alone together. #TishaBeav #9Av #AloneTogether
