Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death hit me pretty hard. Ever since I was young, I have been in awe of her fierceness, stamina, and wisdom. She has persisted through some of the toughest times and she will remain in our memories. We will re-mem-ber you, RBG.

As I have been processing my grief, I have read some pretty incredible tributes to Ruth. One from the SALT Project, in particular, stood out to me. I invite and encourage you to read this article: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Bible."

How do you remember those who have died?

How do you grieve those who you did not "know" but you knew through news, media, their legacy, etc.?

How can we remember and continue the legacy of RBG?

--------

Scripture for this week:
Their sound is gone out into all lands; and their words into the ends of the world. Psalm 19:4 

--------

A prayer for this week:
Tzedek, tzedek tirdof - “Justice, justice, you shall pursue”
(Deuteronomy 16:20). 

Amen.
