Writing Circles, Autumn Prayers, a New Poem -

Writing Circles, Autumn Prayers, a New Poem Dear Ones~ It isn’t  often the Jewish New Year lines up precisely with the fall equinox. I welcome the extra power of synchronicity as fuel for my prayers, the muscular hopes I will carry with me into the new year.  Before diving into the Days of Awe to gather strength with my local community, I...

The Omer This Year -

The Omer This Year Dear Ones, I hope this message finds you well wherever you are in your seasons. For us in Philadelphia this is the pinking time.
