POEM FOR BESHALLACH

 A few days late but here's a poem inspired by the Song at the Sea in Parashat Beshallach.

BOOK OF FAILED SALVATION GETS AROUND

Image
I was going to write a new dvar for Beshallach and/or 15 Shevat, but quarantine has gotten the lazier of me for now, and I have been reading lishma or watching movies. I am excited however to share that two blogs of writers and poets I admire have given the book some space and helped get the word out: Don Yorty Explorations and Erika Dreifus' MyMachberet . Thank you to Don and Erika. 

DVAR BO

This week is parashat Bo, and I wrote a few thoughts about what redemption might mean -- for the Israelites in that night different from all other nights and in our (Jewish) American lives.
