During the pandemic, 5 yrs ago, my son & his partner wanted to get married in our yard. He wore his dad's wedding outfit, she a white dress from the closet, we made a cake, friend gathered some flowers & we ordered takeout. It was simple & incomplete, but the love and the beauty have stayed strong.

Moadim L'simcha. The middle days of Passover have their own greeting. I love how Judaism makes me aware of the sacredness of time and how days differ one from the other. Living this way makes me more present.
May this day bring you joy.

Last night, we got a preview of the final itinerary of the Jewish women's trip to Morocco that I'm running in April/May. SO excited. It's full but the next one will run in November. rabbiruth.com

Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.
Never shall I forget that smoke.
Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.

The pottery studio is open again, and I made a colorful box last night. I'm super excited to play with color and texture. The whole thing is about six inches tall. I can't wait to see how it comes out. #potterythreads

Time and again, life has taught me that perfection can be problematic; if we seek it blindly, we often miss out on the joy and wonder that is all around us. #livingwell

Did you know that there was an independent Jewish kingdom in Ethiopia for hundreds of years? If not, take a look at this series of videos that I played a part in creating and that my dear friend Dr. Beza Abebe narrated. #jewishhistory globaljews.org/sigd-videos-...

Came home to find our neighborhood bird of prey hanging out in front of our house. Only after I brought in my groceries did it move to the tree. So cool.
