From our Executive Director Sarah Sokolic, a new translation of the traditional Hashkiveinu prayer, that calls out to the Source of Life for shelter and peace. Here, Sarah intimately honors the daily experiences of 1 in 5 teenagers and adults that suffer from mental illness in the US, often invisibly and in solitude.

From Rabbi Amichai, a sermon on finding the “we” in the “I” – of holding one another in presence, and love, of working in community towards accountability and peace.

From three mothers in our community: The Mother’s Candle Lighting Prayer, a plea in Hebrew, Arabic and English, for a sanctuary of peace.
