Kavvanah of the Week
This year we are exploring kavvanot - short orientations or intentions that reflect the part of ourselves that we bring to a particular moment.
 
Kavvanot can be used for moments and actions of any size and significance.

This week we offer a poem for Tisha B’Av by Rabbi David Evan Markus.
After

Birth pangs can’t hear
The toddler’s first words.
Earthbound magma can’t see
The saplings that will root in ash.

Who will hear comfort, comfort my people
In a defiled temple that still stands, or
Justice, justice you will pursue
After the race is won?

But a whisper will be heard in the place
Where the temple was destroyed:
Above a felled roof will appear
A vast star-studded sky.

Our exile from safety and nostalgia
Will begin our innermost return –
Not to where we were but
To where we’re destined to be.

So the rejected stone will become
Tomorrow’s cornerstone.
Lies will fertilize truth.
Protests will inspire policy.

Even after two thousand years,
Hope will not be destroyed
But must be renewed, a covenant
Between time and timelessness

Announced by birth pangs,
A seismic shudder from the ground,
A shofar blast,
A prayer of the heart.


Comfort, comfort – Isaiah 40:1, for the seven weeks of comfort after Tisha b’Av. Justice,
justice – Deut. 16:20. A whisper will be heard – Yehuda Amichai, “From the Place Where We
are Right.” Felled roof – For Sukkot, the destination of the journey from Tisha b’Av. Rejected
stone… – From Psalms 118:22. After two thousand years – From Hatikvah, Israel’s national
anthem. Shudder – For even angels will shudder at Unetaneh Tokef. Shofar – Rosh Hashanah
seven weeks after Tisha b’Av.
Torah Service Prayer
Here is the new prayer we have created for our Torah service. Thank you to Elliot Finkelstein for the idea! Please join in from home.
