I miss yameinu c'kedem; being amid others - their ideas, songs, laughter, silences. Nowadays my companions are poets reaching from another century. Lea Goldberg confides of waiting in a cafe at night, longing for her beloved. Yehuda Amichai shares prophesies granted by fruit acquired at an outdoor market. Together we pray.

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!

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.
