Rabbi Rachel Barenblat captured exactly what is going through my mind. We are struggling to bring depth and meaning to our holiest days for another year.
Sonnet for our second COVID Rosh Hashanah I don't want to reckon with my choices: feels like that's all we've done for 18 months (should I mask, is this safe, what if we meet outside and never breathe together?) I don't want to query who will live and who will die, who by wildfire and who by flooded subway, who intubated and alone and who will have enough while others lack. I just want all of us to thrive: our hearts at ease, our hopes in reach at last. Come close to me, God. Comfort me with apples. Remind me the world is born again each year -- even if I'm not ready, even if this year I'm not sure I know the words to pray. Cantor Ross Wolman
