Summary |
“Allow yourself to be at a loss for words” may be the most helpful words since the nightmare began on October 7. I've added a nightly practice of offering psalms on behalf of safety, healing, peace. I have ongoing contact with loved ones in Israel. I take in news judiciously, not overburdening myself with more than I can stomach in a day. I lean into the spiritual practices of prayer, Torah study, mussar, meditation and connection. I give tzedakah, I build bridges to other communities. I savor acts of kindness, those that I receive, witness or bestow.
How are you getting through these times and how might we help? Would you like more BI gatherings dedicated to sharing thoughts or feelings or prayers with regard to this situation? Would you like ongoing lists of places to offer tzedakah? Would you like a zoom gathering for BI members where we invite our loved ones in Israel to speak out? BI, your community, your rabbis are here for you through the good times and the painful ones. Tell us what you need.
