A Prayer for Today: "In the midst of it all"
A Prayer for Today:
"In the midst of it all"
Rabbi Menachem Creditor
Hebrew translation by Shemaya Shiloh-Phillips
in the midst of it all
despite it all
because of it all
because there is an all
Thank You, Holy One.
בקרב כולם
למרות הכל
בגלל הכל
שיש הכל
תודה לך, קדוש
(ריבונו של הכל)

Poured it all out today.
Poured it all out today. Taught from Abraham Joshua Heschel's "Religion and Race" in response to the murder of George Floyd. We have to earn our right at the base of God's Holy Mountain. As Heschel taught in 1963, "That equality is a good thing, a fine goal, may be generally accepted. What is lacking is a sense of the monstrosity of inequality." We have much work ahead friends, to recognize God's Image is the universal human condition, and that an act of violence is an act of blasphemy.

Olam Chesed Yibaneh, covered by Cantor Lisa Peicott of Wilshire Boulevard Temple
What a day... every once in a while, I search YouTube for "Olam Chesed Yibaneh", sort by upload date, and am overwhelmed. This take on my soul's song by Cantor Lisa Peicott of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, interspersed with images of light, color, and heroism is just right for these days of pause. Let's keep going, friends - keep building, keep loving, keep singing!

Everywhere
Everywhere
Menachem Creditor
Those faces
on the screen are real:
real people,
real faces.
God's Eyes, everywhere.
God's Heart, everywhere.

A Poem "For When the World is Masked"
Menachem Creditor
Deep, powerful feelings can be reawakened.
Even when the world is masked.
It can be a song.
Or the wind.
Or pairs of eyes on a screen, all facing out.
And, if tears then flow,
welcome them with a re-opened heart.
