Every morning when we rise we have the opportunity to offer prayers of gratitude. We thank the Divine source of all for renewing our souls, breathing life into our bodies. We thank God for allowing our bodies to function as they were meant to. We even have a blessing that thanks the God who gives the bird of dawn discernment to tell day from night. And since it is morning, I offer this blessing of Modah Ani from our morning liturgy as a way to ground us as we begin our day and let it serve as a reminder to always be thankful for the gifts we have been given.
Modah anee lefanecha ruah chai vekayam, she-he-chezarta bee nishmatee b’chemla, raba emunatecha
I offer thanks to You, the Divine Source of all for You have restored my soul within me; You God are Awesome. #Judaism #Gratitude #Blessing
It’s Shabbat morning. I’m full of renewed energy as we re-enter Genesis. As we begin again with the book of Genesis we learn that human beings were created last, and the Talmud says it was for the following reason: If we become to arrogant we are reminded that the tiny gnat was created before us. Even though we were created last we learn that Human beings are created in the image of God. What a concept and probably the most important idea in the Torah, that we are all created in the image of God. To be created in God’s image is not just about the Awesomeness power of God it is also a statement of responsibility about the way we are to treat others. Do we see God in others? Do we recognize that all people are created in the image of God. If we truly believe that we are all created in God’s image we should recognize that everyday is an opportunity to live our lives in such a way to be God like; to be compassionate, caring individuals and to do our best to bring justice into the world.

Avinu Malkeinu is a heartfelt plea to God for mercy, forgiveness, and compassion. It’s purpose is to guide individuals in seeking forgiveness, strengthening our connection with God, acknowledging our responsibilities, and fostering spiritual growth during the High Holidays.
As the High Holidays approach, Avinu Malkeinu serves as a reminder of our responsibility to mend our ways and seek reconciliation with the Divine and fellow humans. It prompts us to consider how we can better ourselves in the coming year and repair any broken relationships.
Avinu Malkeinu encourages us to introspect, not just on our individual deeds but also on our collective responsibilities. It calls for social justice, compassion, and the betterment of the world around us.
Ultimately, Avinu Malkeinu serves as a spiritual guide, evolving with us throughout the High Holidays, reminding us of our capacity for change, growth, and the pursuit of a more righteous path in the year ahead.
I made this home recording. I remember years ago sitting in shul during the High Holidays and hearing a folk version of Avinu Malkeinu on guitar and loving it. Last year I heard Yoyo Ma play it at White House with a crowd of Jewish professionals singing around him, I was moved to tears. We are at another holiday season, and I humbly offer this version to you.
More music coming soon so please follow me on Spotify to stay up to date.
Good morning,
This week we read from the Torah portion Mikeitz. It's important to understand that Hanukkah is not just a holiday about the miraculous events in the Temple. While the story of the oil is a central part of the holiday, it's also important to recognize the broader context of Hanukkah and its connection to the Torah portion of Mikeitz.
