Rabbi’s Message
From Rabbi Johanna  Hershenson

Rabbi Johanna Hershenson

Silent Prayer

During this moment of silence,
bring me the grief of my people,
centuries born and centuries old,
and let it inspire me to still love the world.

Connect me with fleeting grace
and the prophet’s power
to keep opening up my soul
even when it is seared with loss.
