Springtime fears eased with meditation, Boker Tov, family dinners, creative endeavors. Summer saw new, masked way of being - children leaving home, again; work resuming; parents remaining unvisited; dog passing. Heartache. And yet, now Fall approaches with Elul reflections on sweetness: familial love, meaningful work, comfy home, faithful friendships, caring community.

    this is so meaningful, Beth. Among all the other responses I could make---I'm so sorry about your dog's passing. Time for a puppy?

Rosh Hashanah family picnic; eating outdoors like Sukkot, but a big backyard instead of a small booth. Brisket sandwiches, potato salad, a circular Challah made from scratch. Singing along with the service while "muted", but we hear birds singing as the backup choir. And...100 fewer usher positions to fill!

Does brisket come that small? A whole kugel for 3? And what about the cakes? So much leftover to pick at, little by little.  Maybe this year it’s a different menu, honoring the planet, respecting our bodies as well as tradition. Acknowledging a different year. Still, apples and sweet honey.

Renewal will come. As the calendar turns, and my thoughts turn to the annual rhythms of the holidays, I feel deeply how off-beat everything is now. But I have hope and know that the next moment is not this moment, renewal will come, and we will return again. L’shanna tovah!
