Dear Friends,

Life as we know it has changed. Social distancing has become the new normal. This has impacted everyone across the globe and as I write this message I’m struck with the enormity of what we may face in the months ahead. Many of our Passover plans have changed or been canceled. That doesn’t mean that the holiday won’t happen, it will just happen in a very different way. We will still open our Haggado t and retell the story of our slavery and how we found the courage to flee from our oppressors and seek a land of freedom and a life of possibility. Even as we battle this deadly plague, each of us contains the DNA which was planted at the time of our redemption. We are the children of Israel, setting out to find our strength in time of crises, our courage in time of challenge, our collective hope in time of need. Although we are separated from our families, our friends and our communities, we are still part of this people, and this planet, connected and sustained by our common stories and our shared history.  
Today we give thanks for the blessings we do have: homes, family, friends, community, technology and the ability to communicate through iPhones and computers! May we stay mindful of our gifts, even as we stay vigilant in helping those in need. Let us continue to pray and sing and celebrate in whatever way we can during these troubling times knowing that the light of healing and hope is just beyond the horizon. We may not be able to join hands physically, but we will march together toward freedom and health. Together, in creative ways, we will continue to forge the bonds of love and hope which keep us strong and connected during this Passover and Easter season. May it be so. Amen.

Namaste in Health,

Reb Lisa

Marching Together by Lisa Levine

Source of Blessing:
Our lives are in turmoil
our hearts heavy 
help us to cope
with this modern plague
we are worried for our families, 
we are concerned for our communities, 
our world is on the brink.  
Bless us with strength.  
Source of Mercy:  
We pray for courage 
to stay strong 
for those in our care,
and for ourselves. 
We pray for insight 
to act in loving ways 
to keep our communities safe. 
Bless us with strength. 
Source of Hope: 
We pray for those 
who are at greatest risk
vulnerable and scared
isolated and lonely, 
and for those heroes  
leading on the front lines 
who keep us alive and fed.
Bless us with strength. 
Source of Life: 
Throughout history 
our people has faced plagues, 
forced expulsions, slavery, 
exile and extermination. 
We have walked in narrow places
wandered many deserts
Sustain us now,
Bless us with strength .  
Source of Love: 
We celebrate our fortitude  
our shared history
the traditions which
have gifted us the DNA, 
spiritual armor
to overcome 
this modern imprisonment. 
Bless us with strength . 
Source of Healing: 
We give thanks for the gifts
sometimes taken for granted
our homes, our families, 
friends, communities, 
We are blessed to connect with 
technology and computers.
May we honor this sharing. 
Bless us with strength.  
Source of Courage: 
Quell our anxiety, 
keep us safe 
help us continue to pray 
sing and study
We see the light of redemption 
Just beyond the horizon. 
Let us virtually join hands 
marching together
towards the promised land. 
Bless us with freedom.  
Amen.
