On Erev Yom Kippur, my rabbi, Eli Cohen, gave a moving sermon about Psalm 23. This psalm is most often read after someone dies, so for most of us it bears a negative connotation. Yet, it is meant to offer us consolation during difficult times in general, not just when someone has passed on. If …

For Jews, fall always arrives with the High Holidays—sometimes early in September, like this year, sometimes as late as mid October. For most other people it comes with the autumn equinox. This year, they came at the same time. Interestingly enough, this year’s autumn equinox corresponded with the beginning of Sukkot, the fall harvest festival. …

As I prepare dinner for Erev Yom Kippur’s meal and think about going to services tonight, I remember the liturgy of the High Holy Days and of the Day of Repentance. I always feel I have death sitting on one shoulder and life sitting on the other. What will this year bring for my family …
My Jewish renewal community has a traditional of doing group aliyot. In other words, instead of calling up one person to say the blessing before and after the Torah reading, they create a theme around the parshah, the Torah portion being read, and call up anyone that feels drawn to that theme to say the …

How do you do this? Here’s an excerpt from my workbook, Get Ready, Aim, Shoot, and Hit Your Bull’s Eye This Year that …
Last year during the Jewish Days of Awe, or High Holy Days, which extend over the 10 days from Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, to Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance, I wrote a series of 10 blog posts that discussed different ways to use each day for introspection. I’d like to simply call …

Part of the midlife experience for many mothers involves releasing children when they go off to college. Sometimes this means just moving them into a dorm across town. Other times it means taking them off to college across state or several states away. And still other times it involves leaving them at universities all the …
I didn’t mind when my children went off to school. I was happy for the free time, time for myself to do the things I wanted to do. I missed my children when they went off to camp, even shed a brief tear, but always felt happy for them and for myself. They would have …
