Shalom, my friends. Before we start today's episode, I want to say a few words about what's been going on. In our world and especially in the United States this past few weeks, it's really difficult to put into words how I feel, combinations of shame, rage, heartbreak, and a vague sense of hope that underlies at all. The support I know that we can give to each other as a community, even as our institutions fail to protect us, and it's hard to put into words, because it's a feeling. For me, I think T'fillah in days is a vessel for whatever it is I'm feeling to feel as a response to life. My prayer then moves through the words of my ancestors, reminding me that I am not alone in this struggle. You know, today during my weekday Amidah I'm here at camp with these kids. And it strikes me and it struck me today over and over again, that we keep praying for a better world to come. And we know that it must be possible. It is sad. And Josh mentioned this on the last episode we aired. That we're discouraged from praying for things that we know can't happen. Which means that if we're praying for something to happen, then it could happen. And so to feel on that way, is both a vessel for my rage, my sadness and my frustration, but also for my hope, Zichrono Livracha said that the bracha the blessing formula, especially as it functions in the liturgy is a reminder that g?d has done something before, which means it could happen again. And to me, that gives me a sense of hope, we experience your blessing holy, one, redeemer of our people, which means if that is a name that we call the holy one that is possible in our world. It can be very easy to feel powerless. And that is a feeling that is worth feeling. But for me, it's feeling reminds me that in fact, I am connected to a people to a community and to a universe. And that there is more that we could do always to hold our institutions of power accountable. Because there are things that could actually change and to continue to take care of each other. We balance in Judaism, I think I've brought this up before because it keeps playing over in my mind. We balance the gratitude and the awe of our float. We balanced the Accepting of the world as it is as we are encouraged to do on Shabbat with the holy rage of the prophets and the pieces of liturgy, from our heritage that cry out for help. We have both, we can find joy in our everyday lives. And we can hold our broken hearts. You can do both of those things, but only if we do them together. So friends, I just wanted to share that from my heart because I am with you. I am here and perhaps our T'fillah is with us too. And perhaps I think the Holy One is with us too. Now here's today's episode.
