All right. Good morning all. Good morning. Beautiful faces. The people I can see and beautiful names of people I cannot see. But it's nice to all be here together this morning. All right.

00:00:22:15 - 00:00:53:20
Unknown
I'm going to take my tablet, drape it over my shoulders. Here, take a moment. Whether you've got a towel or not, to just close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, settling into the space that you're sitting or standing. And. Prepare to intend to spend the next half hour opening to connection. Connection to God. Connection to each other.

00:00:53:22 - 00:00:57:05
Unknown
Connection to Torah.

00:00:57:07 - 00:01:10:04
Unknown
Connection to inspiration. To resilience. To courage. To our stories. To whatever kind of.

00:01:10:05 - 00:01:19:08
Unknown
Whatever. Friend. Whatever spiritual friend needs to walk with you right now. Just opening to connection with that.

00:01:19:10 - 00:01:29:14
Unknown
Take a few breaths. Imagine wrapping ourselves in light.

00:01:29:16 - 00:01:56:02
Unknown
In arms that hold us in a. In a garment that wraps us and keeps us warm. Baruch Attar Adonai love. No matter how alarm a share keeps, shadow permits for tav that's eventually hit a tiff but keeps it.

00:01:56:04 - 00:02:03:08
Unknown
I mean.

00:02:03:09 - 00:02:32:03
Unknown
So I just came back from a conference that's an annual conference of renewal rabbis, because I'm toying with the idea of of maybe joining renewal, which I think the founder of the movement would say it was never intended to be a movement. So it's not a movement, but it is a group of, rabbis and communities across the country and world who is intention is to renew Judaism.

00:02:32:05 - 00:03:10:17
Unknown
And and that's actually like that was in our founding mission statement to breathe new life into Judaism. And so anyway, for the past couple of days, I've been gathering with rabbis whose morning spiritual practice includes meditation includes jumping around and dancing, includes singing, includes piano and drum and hymn, and the words in English and the words in Hebrew and the words of the tradition Baruch, Adonai and the words of more adapted, Shekinah inspired tradition, and so, and so on.

00:03:10:17 - 00:03:36:23
Unknown
The kind of writing that I wanted to challenge myself and all of us this morning, I'm going to pull up the we've used this cedar. We have used, I'm going to put this in front of us. We have used this cedar before, but we actually haven't really talked about where it comes from. I brought this to us because it's kind of infused with poetry and different, expressions of the Hebrew.

00:03:37:01 - 00:04:01:20
Unknown
And so Kahala Synagogue is one of the, I would say, I don't know, founding renewal synagogues in America. It's in Berkeley. Surprise, surprise. And, you know, like they very similar to Michigan, the arose to fulfill what they felt like was a void. There were plenty of synagogues in the Bay area, but they just felt like there was a void there.

00:04:01:22 - 00:04:21:03
Unknown
For a certain kind of spirituality, for a certain kind of honesty about what's happening in the world, you know, about how we talk about Israel, how we as Jews connect, you know, as Jews beyond the Jewish community about the things that concern the Jewish community, that, you know, everybody else might be in lockstep over here, but like, we're scratching our heads a little bit and we're like, does that actually make sense?

00:04:21:03 - 00:04:55:07
Unknown
Maybe we should go over here and do our own thing. So anyway, I will say, and you have probably noticed that when we've used this cedar, I have tended toward the traditional language. And when we've seen things like, look at this. Baruch at Bruce's Shekinah Elohim, who say how old? I mean, I usually skip this because it's just so foreign to me to use words in an order that I'm not used to saying them, for a mantra that is such a familiar mantra at Baruch Atah Adonai, blessed art thou.

00:04:55:07 - 00:05:40:11
Unknown
Blessed are you, God. And you know, and we've talked a million times about Adonai. It's not male. It's, you know, there's no in but there's no body. So it's not a gender, but it's a euphemism, obviously. And, you know, so what I want to invite us into today, partially because we're also entering into a parsha where God introduces God's self again, to really be expansive and to challenge ourselves to think about the divine in ways that are not comfortable, in ways that are bigger, and sort of pointing more directions than the direction we're used to talking about God, or the divine or the sacred or the mystery or however it is that we

00:05:40:11 - 00:06:09:15
Unknown
talk about it. So I just I want to say that at the beginning here because if I'm like, fumbling my words a little bit, you know, reading the text on the screen, it's because it's unfamiliar to me as well. And I think that there's something important about being a little spiritually uncomfortable in safe spaces where we're all here to learn, and then also have these moments of, comfort and familiarity that we can lean back into and go, okay, I know where I am, I'm home.

00:06:09:17 - 00:06:22:23
Unknown
So, I think I'm going to go back up here to Danny. This so.

00:06:23:01 - 00:07:44:09
Unknown
And feel free to sing with me muted on your screen. Feel free also to like play with the words Lord, knee play fine. Rugrats there okay. Lord knee lengthen oh yes. There. Okay. Chavez. Chubby mishmash. Team Beth and, and when I try to, Yay, Chavez. Hey, tabby Lee schmuck to Beth Hamler.

00:07:44:11 - 00:08:26:03
Unknown
But, Oh. Natasha, do you need I did, I did I, I I I I I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I had, I, I, I don't.

00:08:26:05 - 00:08:54:20
Unknown
All right. So now we've seen the metaphor of ass rock five. Okay. The spirit that infuses life eternally, which of course, who asks, I am the spirit that infuses life eternally. That's already an interpretation or a reinterpretation of what was there before, which was Melchizedek. I am king of who lives eternally. I be curious what word?

00:08:54:20 - 00:09:28:22
Unknown
What word? Like in the morning as you wake up feels most, relatable? Because we're now going to go into, I want to say these words about the that when one says when they're putting on to fill in which this is completely different metaphor. This is a metaphor of lover. And so whether or not you're wearing to fill in this morning or you're putting them on, imagine wrapping yourself and you can use your own hands right now to sort of like wrap them around your own, you know, feel feel your arm, feel your hands and say these words.

00:09:28:22 - 00:09:33:16
Unknown
You can repeat them after me there. I allow them.

00:09:33:18 - 00:10:11:02
Unknown
There are stiffly but acidic over me, spat over fashion, over Rami there still, but emunah via that at Adonai. Which means I betrothed you to me forever, right? I betrothed you to me, I marry you, I come into intimate relationship with you, master of the universe, in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, in compassion and mercy. I betrothed you to me.

00:10:11:04 - 00:10:23:22
Unknown
I become intimate in relationship with you, in faith. And this is how you come to know the divine. This is how we come to know the divine.

00:10:24:00 - 00:10:33:21
Unknown
I just bought I just bought a book while I was at this conference. Where is that? Let me find it. Here. Bam!

00:10:33:23 - 00:11:00:22
Unknown
About, Rabbi Arthur, when I go to, Wesco and Shoshana. Doctor Shana Wesco, his daughter has been here on our minyan saying Kaddish for him quite often. And you can see that it's like a a biography of his activism over the course of his life. And it's called tales of the spirit rising and sometimes falling.

00:11:01:00 - 00:11:26:06
Unknown
Tales of the spirit rising and sometimes falling. And I just started it. But what we see is these moments of inspiration, you know, this feeling of like, like possibility and oh, you know, like the skies opening. And then sometimes that's happening in the very same moment. There is some kind of tragedy or crisis happening. Tales of the spirit rising and sometimes falling, sometimes at the same time.

00:11:26:08 - 00:11:52:12
Unknown
So, you know, as we go through and we're like kind of meeting all of these different expressions of the divine. Just want to say they're not mutually exclusive, right? All of us have all of it in a in us, just like we are contradictions. So she, he they. All rhyme. Thank you. Miriam. I'm seeing what you just wrote here.

00:11:52:12 - 00:12:12:11
Unknown
The Path of Blessing by Marsha Prager is a short, an amazing book that puts many different lights on the words. A prayer. Beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, so, Yeah, I want to I want to read through these morning blessings. Feel free to join me in the Hebrew and the English. And if you want to stand, feel free.

00:12:12:13 - 00:12:26:18
Unknown
Otherwise you can just use, you know, this moment from your chair to stretch in whatever ways. Feel comfortable and and connected to the words.

00:12:26:20 - 00:12:52:22
Unknown
Wow. All right. This is this is complicated because each one of these things, has both. All right? We're just we're going to lean in hard. We're going to do it all. All right. Wow. This is interesting. Sorry. I'm just. For the very first time, I'm seeing the transliteration here is for this Hebrew. And then the, traditional sort of burbuja Adonai is just for the English.

00:12:53:00 - 00:13:26:23
Unknown
Okay. So we're kind of like, basically be reading all of it. Yeah. Wow. Okay, let's try this first one just to see how goes Baruch ata adonai elohim. No rules. How old am for enabling the rooster to distinguish day from night at Bruce's shrine? Hello? Hey. No. Hey. Hola. Meme share as tiny. But, me at Professional Ohana.

00:13:27:00 - 00:13:45:21
Unknown
Okay, how old are meme for making me a child of my people? By rules at, I don't I lo Hino raha Ola meme sha asante, but shalom elohim.

00:13:45:23 - 00:14:21:18
Unknown
At Bruja China. Hello? Hey. No. Hey. How the meme for making me in the divine image. Baruch rata adonai el ohanian mela. How old am poké off every game? Wow. Let's just read the English for imbuing us with vision at Brooklyn. Hello? Hey. No. Hey, how will that meme mal be? Share a room meme for clothing the naked Bharata Adonai.

00:14:21:20 - 00:14:55:06
Unknown
And though he knew how that matter, I saw him for imprisoned. For freeing the imprisoned for releasing the bound at I know he know. Hey, how will that meme so it careful fulfill him for lifting up those who have been low. I just want to stop right here. This is clunky, right? Feel free to unmute and just respond to how it feels to go through words that are not familiar, while saying words that are actually quite familiar.

00:14:55:08 - 00:15:16:15
Unknown
Better, I love it. You do? Yes. Oh my God, why I'm finding this so challenging. Wow. Well, no, I just, I, I mean, I like hearing it all and, and in the tunes that I know and and celebrating something new. Oh, I love that you love it. I'm so glad. And you're inspiring me and Jesper. I'm glad that you love it, too.

00:15:16:15 - 00:15:37:11
Unknown
You like it? Yeah. Any other? Yeah. There was one where there's one minyan where I, Rabbi Stephen, was leading, and I put in the chat for my gratitude that I was grateful. Mitch. Kind of such a guy. Ocracy that I'm surprised when I hear him use the male. Conjugations. Yes. This kind of makes me feel the same way.

00:15:37:11 - 00:16:02:17
Unknown
Like I'm not used to it, but oh, I could get used to it. I have to say, you know, I as I, I'm, I'm owning all of the resistance and the, you know, distancing or whatever, kind of like, hesitancy I have had for years around this stuff. And over the course of, you know, it was just two and a half days that I was at this conference, but it became more familiar the more I heard it.

00:16:02:19 - 00:16:21:01
Unknown
And the more comfortable I got with people using it. And I think pedagogically, I've always felt like I don't want to. I don't want to teach people something that they're going to go somewhere else and that hear something that, you know, they don't understand or feels familiar. Because the truth is, not many communities use this stuff, and I don't want people to feel like they don't know what's going on.

00:16:21:03 - 00:16:48:10
Unknown
But actually, like, you got this minyan is there is a high level of consistency here. And I feel like a very high tolerance for experimenting, which there aren't that many Jewish spaces where we can do that. So, I'm really grateful this morning for for this and for you, Lexi, we're about to say something. Yeah. Just that it's like a treat to catch you in this, in this moment of, like, experiencing something new and playing with it with, with us.

00:16:48:10 - 00:17:09:15
Unknown
So. Yeah. In the red. Oh, my gosh. You know, I mean, for anybody who's been around the renewal world, I don't know, Eric Wilson maybe, you know, for like for years this is like so not new. You know, it's like such old news. But I mean, if you guys have been along the journey with me, you know, like, I was not ordained in this movement.

00:17:09:17 - 00:17:33:14
Unknown
This was not, you know, this is this is. Yeah. This is this is challenging. But but but really, really valuable. Like, if we're going to pay lip service to and talk about God being expansive, I really feel like it's it's really valuable for us to also be challenged around how we talk about it, you know, because maybe that, you know, it's always like we say, like, God can take it, you know, it's us that need the help.

00:17:33:14 - 00:18:06:07
Unknown
Kind of stretching our, our consciousness and our verbiage and like, if we can do it around stuff having to do with God, maybe we could do it around stuff having to do with people. Maybe we could think about people as having more capacious ness. Possibility to have, room, you know, surprises, things that we don't know or things that, you know, completely change the way we might see people and what they do and how if we if we could actually, like, get out of our usual ways of talking and relating, but Amen, amen, amen, amen, Amen.

00:18:06:08 - 00:18:41:22
Unknown
Yeah. Exactly. All right, Miriam, one last thing. And then we'll. God, it's 822. So go do smart. Yeah. I also think it's, it it helps us get beyond the idea of the God character. Right. If you're asking me to. God is male. It's really easy to think of the man with the white beard. But if you're if you're switching, it's it makes it harder to do that and easier to start conceiving of God as something beyond as well as like clearly helping us stop.

00:18:41:22 - 00:19:12:13
Unknown
Kind of like labeling people by like, as if our gender is kind of the most salient thing about us. Right? So. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. All right. Just noticing the time, but also wanting to complete this litany of morning blessings. Let's just do what is in English characters. So that's what we'll do here. Starting from preparing firm land above the waters.

00:19:12:15 - 00:19:42:13
Unknown
The rules are to I don't I I lose track of them for preparing firm land above the waters at Brook arena. Although Hannah will say, well, a meme for preparing that which would satisfy all my needs. Baruch attire. Hello Hindu royal lamb for preparing our daily journeys at Brook Shaheen. Hello. Hey hey Ola meme for giving us power.

You know, can't change the past. Working on how to be better, bringing it all together into one, holding it in a hand, holding that hand above our eyes as we go into this shimmer.

And I listened to this for hours in the hospital and after you got home. And still, it's really. I feel like the, some, some music just channels the intention of the words that go to the tune.

And we usually stand for that prayer at the end of services before Kaddish. So this is in that last minute. I.

But, you know, we could talk about it after we close the minyan. All right, so moving into Mourner's Kaddish, at this, at this, conference, we did, like, a memory sharing about, Rabbi Arthur, who I really didn't know, but sounded like an incredible, an incredible teacher and, you know, force of justice and spirit for many years.
