In Moab with Adventure Judaism, I learned: Gathering w/ 100 people in the desert, eating matzah while sitting on the ground does make me feel like I personally left Egypt centuries ago. Our Moab Mikvah (CO River) has the best views. All paths in the desert are passable when we help one another.

Connections with nature are always available.
Within a walk from my house is a park with a small pond. Each morning on our walk, we are treated to the sound of birds singing. We can find moments of connection with the wilderness everywhere. To access, we focus notice and acknowledge.
Shabbat Shalom

After reviewing the movie A Serious Man for our dinner and discussion, I am caught by the words of the wise rabbi:
“When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies…
You better find somebody to love”
Thanks Jefferson Airplane.
Hope your Shabbat is filled with people you love.

A central strength of the Jewish community is the community itself. Having neighbors who look out for you, who protect you is essential to a true community, religious or not.
As the Shabbat approaches, let us focus on those communities that we support and who support us.

We must all have ways to hold, release, some of the devastation and fury in these times of terror and rage.
When we do, we may have more capacity for useful action.
Because we must take action.
But we must have capacity.

Friends - if you are Jewish, gather your menorah & candles. Even if you haven't lit it in years. Dust it off - dust them all off.
We need to light a bonfire with the light of goodness & justice.
Light it because you know that one little light can light up the darkness.
