We're on the journey from Pesah to Shavuot, from physical freedom at the Sea of Reeds to spiritual freedom at Mt. Sinai.
To get to this spiritual freedom, for each of the seven weeks from Pesah to Shavuot we focus on a different superpower we need to feel light and free. Some Rabbis call these superpowers the
sefirot, they are like the clothes God wears and we can try them on too!
The first three weeks, we focus on
hesed (love or kindness),
gevurah (strength), and
tiferet (harmony, balance, beauty).
Your assignment, should you choose to accept:
1) Take a walk outside with a digital camera (e.g., a phone). As you walk, notice the world around you.
2) Now, find three things, one each that helps you feel your powers of strength, love, and beauty. Your pictures might be of natural objects (trees, rocks, flowers, etc), people-made objects (buildings, cars, etc.) or people you see or are walking with.
3) When you get home, label the three pictures according to which category they belong to and send them to
Ms. Jennie.
All our pictures together will form a collage of our journey. In a few months time, maybe we can even all see it hanging on the wall at Shir Chadash!
