We must remember to seek the wisdom of our elders, and be courageous as we face today's challenges. And sing. We must sing. #SearchBatAsher #Nachshon #ShabbatShirah #ShabbatShalom

 

As the sublime Mary Oliver taught us all, "All important ideas must include the trees, the mountains, and the rivers." Happy #TuBishvat, friends!

Today is #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, the day in 1945 the Allies liberated Auschwitz/Bikenau. And friends, to truly #Remember & #NeverForget, we must face the trauma of our past and identify the violent echoes of the Nazis wherever and whenever it rises again. May the memory of the 6 million be for a fierce blessing for the world through our actions.

 

From trembling to birth: the path towards freedom.

We are not ignorant enough to believe that Amalek has ceased to exist. But it is our deepest prayer that as long as we remember, as long as we continue to call out the events of this dark day for what they are, then the bigotry of Amalek will return to the sewers of society, where it belongs. #RememberAndDoNotForget

Even miraculous moments require a combination of waiting and not-waiting, of acting while remembering to breathe. So, dear friends, breathe. Miracles are happening all around. Slowly. So, breathe. ❤️
