Minyan Replay with Rabbi Lizzi — Praying & Processing Together

At our Virtual Morning Minyan on October 12th, Rabbi Lizzi welcomed dozens of community members to pray for those impacted by the ongoing violence in Israel and Gaza, and to hold space for one another to process our own feelings.

The song featured in the intro to today's episode was "Tree of Life" by Nefesh Mountain. The creator featured at the end of today's episode was prominent artist Miriam Anzovin whose work can be found at @miriamanzovin on TikTok.

See it.

Last Saturday morning as news was beginning to kind of filter out but nobody really knew exactly what was going on. A really special thing happened in Chicago, which was that Sarah Conway Weinberg from this Minion who I've been singing with every morning for the past three years. biked over to the minion. I was co leading in Evanston at Northwestern Hillel, and for the first time since the start of the pandemic, including every morning that were on minion together, but singing in different places. Sara stood next to me. And I stood in the back of the room while she was leading and she sang with me well, I led and I sang with her well, she led and we hurt each other in harmony. And we could see each other's faces and hear each other's voices. And just take kind of comfort in, just like how special it is to sing together. And, and now that has a completely different resonance singing does. And part of that is because words it's really hard to find the right words. I alluded to this yesterday, in our email intro, you know, like, I can take it, I can take it if people don't like my words, now. But I really I feel for folks in our community, and I'm talking to one after the next after the next, you know, who are being like unfriended on Facebook, or Instagram, or Tiktok, or Snapchat or wherever they are, or uninvited, to weddings, you know, are like, people who aren't trained in social media communications, or marketing or public relations, or how to give good speeches or persuasive speeches, or how to say exactly the right thing, to the audience you're listening to? And who really knows who your audience is on those mediums anyway? And how, like, just overhear, we're punishing each other for not saying the right words, in a moment when there are there really, there aren't words to describe how awful what has happened is and when how awful what is going to happen is. And so this morning, I kind of I'm out of words, we had a bunch of words. Last night, there were 80 people who joined online for a gathering just to share words, words and songs. I was really heartbreaking to hear the ways in which folks in the Jewish community because it was a Jewish gathering, it was organized by Mishcon it wasn't, wasn't, you know, it wasn't like bridge building, so to speak, you know, like, like, sharing grief with Palestinian friends and neighbors, it was, it wasn't that it was a Jewish gathering, just to kind of hear and support folks in our community. And it was, it was really sad, you know, to hear the ways in which people are feeling isolated, shut out, turned off, unfriended, unseen, in pain, you know, people who aren't even political, they're just Jewish. And the ways in which this, you know, the ripple effects of what's happening is, you know, you're hurting people who have nothing to do with it. And in in our community, too. And so I'm just, I'm holding that with a lot of tenderness this morning, holding you all, with a lot of tenderness this morning. So I just want to sing, and use the chat, for support and for love, and for sharing words of healing. And just remind everybody that like, your experience, and your stories are yours, and you can share them. And to just, you know, if to refrain if you can, from sharing anything that might, you know, might trigger somebody, you know, because it's an image or an allusion to an image that folks aren't asking to think about in this Minion this morning.

It's hard to begin the day with these kinds of serious and painful sentiments. I'm not really used to it. It's only been really like, five days since last Saturday, I feel like my paradigm and mind and heart and body feel completely differently every single day. So I'm going to try and breathe and saying, and remember that I'm an embodied soul over here in Chicago, and that actually the world needs my love, and the world needs my energy and positive energy. And you and you do, and my family does, and the people that our staff does, and we all have people with whom we can share what is good, and the great parts of ourselves the good parts of ourselves. And those people need us and we need them. So I think that's the energy I'm going to be bringing this morning not to like shut out or crowd out or pretend what's happening in the world isn't happening. But just to remember there are other parts of me too. Thanks, Eric. So we're gonna say a prayer this morning for the release of hostages a little bit later. Now including your neighbors cousin

want to go into a prayer for our souls? Hello, hi and it's Gemma.

If you can sing the two parts over each other Hi me

would invite you to stand if you are able

go into boho

very cool to add that on I have my four

boys they owe them via ad, buy them use their position and move away at a call. We read an article that I read and they have a rock a meme of two vomica dish that was helium to meet Matt a savory sheet or Hadash at sea onto any scaffold and I'm here it will roll Barrow Hurtado no you'd say Hamby.

God bless you

forgot to unmute. It was

so that we could say God bless you. We need all the blessings we can get right now. I want to as we go into that Rebecca and then into Shema, I want to use a Hava Rabbi abundant love expansive love as the healing prayer we use this morning for ourselves and our friends and loved ones who need healing. And the reason is in moments when we feel constricted and feel fear, we also lose our sense of abundance. We lose our sense of possibility. We go into a sort of like Fight, fight, fight, flight, flee, you know, fight, flight freeze kind of mentality, we stop being creative. We say things that we regret later. We are not ourselves. You know, we sort of look back on those moments and we go like, Oh, that wasn't the best of me. In moments when we feel fear. And I'm listening to Hartman podcast, Yehuda Kurtzer has a podcast, what's it called? It's not for heaven's sake, it's the other one. Identity Crisis called Identity slash crisis. Yeah, he's a he's a deep thinker. And I find often has very sort of clear eye analysis that is coming from a Jewish and sometimes an emotional perspective about what's happening anyway. In the world, you know, in the Jewish world, he and he has on on the podcast this week, just a whole bunch of clips of I'm guessing his friends, Israeli Israelis speaking about kind of what the last few days are, like, what the last few days have been, like, you know, starting with Saturday, what was Saturday, like? What was Simchat Torah, like, very much like what we did on Monday in minion here with Rachel Goldberg, you know, where she was just kind of taking us through what happened kind of hour by hour, Siren by siren, you know, trip to the safe room by trip to the safe room thought by thought. And at least one of the voices is a voice I recognize. And it's somebody who's been doing piecework for over over a decade, who's somebody who has been living in Israel for 25 years, and for whom her entire world her entire life is working with Palestinians, and building individual relationships and organizational relationships with Palestinian groups and people who want peace as much as she does, you know, who are not members of Hamas who don't think anything Hamas is doing is justifiable, right? But who can relate to the feeling of not being free? You know, and she and she can relate to And she can relate with them in that most of the time. But I was hearing her voice, when she was saying was, in those moments when she was in the safe room, she lost all ability to empathize.

And I don't think she was saying, and that was actually the right clear emotion, I think she was saying, I am self aware enough to know that the best of us doesn't come out when we're scared. We need to do what we need to do when we're scared to take care of ourselves and our families. But if we're operating from that mindset all the time. That's, that's what leads to the cycle of violence that we see. And so I want to just take that reminder that that we not absorb a constant sense of fearfulness that drives us to operate from a headspace that isn't our most clear eyed or emotionally aware, expansive, because we because we can we can we have the benefit from sitting where we're sitting, we're not commanders are generals. I don't think anybody on this call as a commander or general. So we don't have to make those decisions, we can leave those decisions to them. But as far as the way that we walk around the world, and the compassion that we are able to muster for other people who don't share our experience or who aren't us, I want to invite us into a Hava deep, expansive love. And so to take a deep breath because sometimes those reminders, those religious reminders that that's what our tradition actually is coming to tell us. We don't want to hear them. Now isn't the time to be reminded about deep expansive love. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. It's always a good time for love. So I want to send that love out to Rabbi Deborah Shen shanafelt. Everybody on Iran's list, of course. Everybody on Martin's list. Sarah, thank you. Your nine cousins called up to the reserves. Judy sons and grandsons Sharona, two sons, Rena sons Rena son, Shira. And we have Perry's daughter and Himes granddaughter, Shiro dia, Bazzara Daria Robin Robin's Sophia, Vanessa Avi, Rama, Nathan Danny and Arnie Sharona morale just really feeling this morning the amount of love and prayer we want to send all their way

All right, hang on that one.

All right. Is there anybody who actually would like this morning to say this prayer for captives? It's inspired, I think by Psalm 142. Some other Psalms as well. But here I'll bring it up on the screen. There's anybody this morning who will would like to be the ones Juan Antonio these words.

I can say it if you'd like. The one who blessed our forefathers. Avraham Hiscock and Jaco Yossef Moshe, aka Ron Dahveed. Wish llama? May they bless and safeguard and preserve our captives.

Is there anybody whose name you actually want to say, folks, folks here? Are you thinking about? My friend? My friend Michael's cousin, believe his name is Hirsch Goldberg.

Yes, no, we had we thought in Boston, we had a couple people who came from Boston but we found out they died and I know the relatives were just in shock. All the captus mommy brother and the house of Israel in trouble in captivity, and the merit of the prayers of this holy assemblage for pray for them. May the blessed and holy one shower compassion over them, and deliver them from darkness and strife. Remove their bondage, deliver them from the afflictions, and return speedily to the families. Let them give thanks to Adonai for their loving kindness, and for her miracles to the children of a DOM and established for them what that what is written in the ransom of Adonai shall return and come with singing onto to see on an everlasting joy shall be upon their heads, they shall obtain gladness and joy and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. And let us say, Amen. I have to add that prayer was written with the three boys were kidnapped in 2014. I don't know if you remember, Britney is one of the boys came from Newton, Massachusetts. My niece was there when they found the boys and at the time I remember Israel had an action of war. Nobody understood why. And then later on it was revealed that her massive was planning this huge thing even more so than what happened now during Rosh Hashanah. And so I pray that this ends soon. And I don't know why. I can't I'm trying to justify I tried to understand I can't I can't wrap my head around this, but I hope it prevented a larger catastrophe. I don't know. I really don't know.

I mean, I mean I'm gonna sing this and then we'll go into Kaddish just because I know it's already 835.

I am indeed Yeah, we have a new schedule this year. So school starts later and I can actually come by in the morning for a bit. Hate. They started a new schedule. It's horrible. Yes, but it's what I can come to menu. So that's good.

So I'm here for the I'm here for the first time in a long time and it's dark. I'm in California, and I haven't turned the lights on yet.

I'm really happy to

be in the dark. I love it.

Well, the sun is rising. You just can't see it.

I can see it. That's a metaphor. That's a beautiful metaphor.

Lucy, I wanted to tell you I went by the stone church yesterday to see all those Sukkot oh my god, that was inspiring. Fantastic. Fantastic.

For people who don't know what Lori's talking about Mishkan was participated in this like, city wide soccer building project, but specifically in a neighborhood in Lawndale, where there used to be like the church that Laurie is talking about the the James Stone Temple used to be the first Romanian synagogue in Chicago to this enormous stone building with beautiful stained glass windows, you can still see the Star of David up on the top, if you go inside, you can see the Star of David etched into all of the all of the pews and the you know, the stained glass windows were like I think they might have erased the Hebrew but they still have like the images of books. And but it's a like a Baptist church now as all of the buildings that used to be synagogues in that neighborhood are, but anyway, that's the land that they built the sukkah project on, because it's featuring all of these different Lawndale based organizations that are doing beautiful, important, good work. Obviously, Mishcon is not a Lawndale based organization, but we worked with a church that is and had a bunch of meetings with them. And anyway, that we hope and expect the relationship to continue. Anyway, it sounds like it goes for the next three days. So if people are in Chicago, and want to see I'm glad you saw it Lorien can kind of attest to how cool

amazing how the communities can come together and hopefully support each other Yeah.

Yeah

well, in the event that we were just out of words this morning I also brought like some old school Daveed Broza if people just want to listen to Debbie Broza saying, yay, the soccer thing. At least you have I don't think so. In our newsletter, like two weeks ago, we had a link to an article about it. And I don't know if I don't know. I don't know. You'd have to like look up online Chicago circa design fest 2023. Oh, my gosh, Chloe, would you please say something for which you are grateful? Would you please.

I just I just wanted to say that this Minion has been a literally manna from heaven for me for the past couple of months, as I've, for some reason, Hashem sent me out to Albuquerque to the desert to wander out here for, you know, a good 567 years before I started my journey towards rabbinical school. And so I felt so disconnected from Jewish community the entire time I've been out here, including during the pandemic, and being able to pray every day with people who I potentially used to pray with in person has just been amazing. And so I'm very grateful for that. Thank you all. And I will continue coming. And I love it here.

Thank you. Oh, my goodness, I love that. Thank you for saying that. And it's nice to have like a visual of you out there in the desert. Thanks for saying that.

Lowly. Feel free to volunteer to help lead on Fridays.

Oh, great point. Does anybody Ricky Do you want to say anything about like Friday minion, how it works? And if people might want to, like practice their Jewish leadership skills, like what that might look like on Friday?

Sure. So Friday is our late lead minion. And so it's wonderful when people you know, step up to lead the minion whether through prayer song, or even, you know, maybe focusing on one or two small prayers and then can even talk about having, you know, there can be discussions so it's wonderful when when more people join in and share their voice and their into their individual creativity to how you pray.

Mm hmm. Yeah. And I'm just like looking at the dates here from October and November. And it just looks like this Minion signup sheet has not seen any action in a couple months. Have you just been leading ranking?

A lot of times I just sort of helped facilitate we all lead part and encourage others to jump in and that that's really been nice. So it's like For people I think married men are bothered, people have been doing a really nice job of modeling, you know, just putting themselves out there. So it's been great

with Miriam have done a great job I did a song or sell, but you've done a really great job of really keeping everything together.

I did echo that. And when I when I do it, I cheat. I use videos, because I can't seem to save my life. You'll clear the room. So

I think videos are nice. I think they are nice

if they're good. Yeah, if they're good, yes. You have to be careful because there's a lot of videos that are done by Jews for Jesus. So at the end, the video is really good. And then all of a sudden, we're praising you Who are you sure, and you gotta be careful. So

should we, unless anybody has something that was on your mind to talk about? Okay, I have two different possibilities. And we can't do both because I need to log off at 855. One is a tic tac from Miriam and zo van who is the you know, hat Tic Tac Toe helmet lady. That's kind of her shtick is like she's beautiful and does amazing makeup and stuff. But actually she's talking about Tom Wood every day. Or David Broza singing, EAA Tov on the top of Masada can't do both. We have to choose one. And I'm not going to do a poll. That's just whatever, whatever there's more energy for.

Maybe there is room for both. Let's see. Miriam. Okay, Mary Blau. The two people who got there. Who got their votes in first you win. All right. Hang on here. Okay. Wait, you might start to hear it before. Before you can see it, hang on Wait.

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I can make content in the usual tone that I normally do, because I cannot when people are grieving their friends, their families, their pets, their colleagues, their whole communities that have been destroyed in the cruelest of ways. But I am, however, going to tell you a story from the Talmud, because it is applicable to grief. This story star is one of our fan favorites. Rabbi Yohanan. You may know Rabbi Yohanan for his tremendous wisdom, His leadership or perhaps from the legends of his beauty, but there is something else that he's known for, which is less fun. And that is the grief he carried with him all of his life, like literally carried with him, because 10 of his sons passed away, and he carried the bone of the pinky finger of the youngest of them with him wherever he went. So one day Rabbi Yohanan goes to see his student Rabbi Elazar, who was ill, but sadly, not in the Beastie Boys sense Rabbi Yohanan discovers Rabbi Elazar lying in a completely dark room, and Rabbi Yohanan because he was so wise knew that that wasn't good, unless Robbie Lazar had a migraine, but that didn't seem to be the problem. So Rabbi Yohanan rolled up his sleeve and behold, let there be light, light radiated from his skin. I mean, we already knew he lit up in a room he walked into, but this was literally and you know, because it was him. It was good lighting. It was flattering lighting. It was golden hour. And as the room lit up, Rabbi Yohanan sees that Rabbi Lazar was crying. And he asked him why was it because of the suffering Rabbi Eleazar had endured in his life? Was it because he didn't feel like he'd studied enough Torah? Was it? Because he had no means of making a living and thus had food insecurity. And then Rabbi Yohanan asked, Are you crying over the other live children? And he held the finger bone of his son up and said that suffering afflicts the greatest of people? And Rabbi allows our center of a Okinawan I'm not crying because of me. I'm crying because of you, because you are so beautiful, but you're mortal. And one day your beauty will decompose into the earth. And Rabbi Yohanan said, Oh, well, in that case, I agree with you. Yeah, that is something very worth weeping over. And then they cried together over how fleeting life and beauty in the world really are. But when they had cried it out, Rabbi Yohanan said Give me your hand, and Rabbi Eleazar gave him his hand and rub Al Quran pulled him to his feet and healed him. Now here we are, centuries upon centuries upon centuries, after Rabbi Yohanan did indeed, go to the great Sephora slash Beit Midrash in the sky, but the brilliance of Rabbi Yohanan, his words, his idiosyncrasies, his flaws, his dramatic life, his sense of humor, his beauty of care to her and a face. Well, we're still talking about all of that. We're still talking about him. We're still talking about his light, he is gone. And yet at the same time, he lives rent free in my head. When we lose somebody we love it feels like the light has gone out. If you are somebody who has lost loved ones in the past few days when you are ready to talk about them, we are here to listen. We will help you as you carry those memories. We will help you carry their light forward. Show them friends I'm not gonna sit here

sweet right I'll I'll drop the link to that in the morning minion channel. Great, right

all right. Well, I want to send everybody on your way today with love with Jehovah abundant love. Did you just drop Miriam's name into the chat? So we can Google it? Miriam and Zubin.

And what was this? And what was the song you played at the very beginning?

Tree of Life by nephesh mountain?

Sure. Not Dani will go like this with her hand over her heart and say thank you.

Lucy, will you speak for a minute about there's something there's virtual something at 445? And then there's something that you're doing right or was that yesterday? No like to begin a fast?

Oh, so Haidar, the yeshiva in New York, gathered, you know, a bunch of organizations and we're supporting it as well. I mean, it's it's basically it's inviting the entire Jewish people too fast today for hostages. Because that's what we that's the you know, talking about Tomlin, like that's a tradition going back 1000s of years. Like if you don't know what else you can do, then like the collective power of our fasting mean that do something may that do is you know, it's a prayer, it's a different form of prayer. It may well be the, you know, the reason why we do a lot of the prayers on Yom Kippur war are connected in many ways to the fasting we do and they they're just coming from this pleading place of like, there's, you know, what can we do? I don't know, what can we do, but like we can do this. Anyway, at 445 is like an online Min. Min has just the afternoon service. But my guess is that we're going to talk about it. Oh, thanks, Elissa. You can see the language and framing here. I mean, I'm happy to just share this with you. I have to get off in just a second. But

then there's also something it MJM it right. So the

thing at on che m it is, I would say solidarity rally, not rally, but gathering. It's like I looked at the I looked at the run of show yesterday. It's a lot of singing, and prayer. I'm reading a prayer for healing. And then, like, there were a couple, like community leaders who may or may like, I don't think Lonnie masseter he's the head of the Federation. But like the mayor may or may not come his, like the deputy governor may or may not come those are things that are like, you know, I don't know if those are happening. So a couple community leaders may speak and otherwise it'll be like local rabbis and cantors and some kids singing and stuff.

Okay, so it's an insight. It's not a rally per se.

No, right now, it's not being called a rally. I don't think it has rally energy. It's it doesn't know.

I think if they had that word there was that word attached to it at some point, though.

Well, there have been two there was one in the suburbs on Tuesday. And this isn't that. And I mean, I can tell you Okay,

thank you. I won't keep everyone Yeah, and we have services on Friday. Correct? Correct.

Right. Also in the general slack if people want to join for humanitarian aid, the Israeli American Consul of Boston is collecting goods you can order through Amazon and have them shipped to Newton. A flight went out this morning. There'll be another flight going out next week.

Yeah, there. I mean, thank you. There are a ton of these different lists of places that are accepting donations because there are a lot of people organizations doing some version of that. So thanks. Yeah. I mean, take care of yourselves, everybody, be kind to yourselves and others. And I'm glad you were here this morning. Carry some of this love and light with you.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you so much. Okay.
