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!

A spacecraft bound for another planet inevitably needs a course correction so it can fall into orbit around the planet and land on the surface. Likewise, embodied souls need occasional course corrections to fulfill their potential. May Elul provide some of the course corrections you need to make it so

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.
