Jewish and Buddhist practices help me live meaningfully through crisis and the unknowns. How to become a more peaceful “warrior”, the most holy version of myself? My teshuvah means acquiring ometz lev (a courageous heart), integrating my thinking and working for just causes to contribute to the radical changes that are needed in our world.

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

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!
