Elul Project 5782
אַתָּה נוֹתֵן יָד
You Extend a Hand
compiled by Isaac Sonett-Assor

Throughout the month of Elul, we invite you to take part in Temple Micah’s daily reflection as we explore the symbol of the outstretched hand. What are the forces that guide, sustain, and pull us? When do we find courage from within, and when do we lean on others?
Day 4
Today's Text: At Morning and At Evening I Seek You
By Solomon Ibn Gabirol, translated from Hebrew by Raymond Scheindlin, adapted by Isaac Sonett-Assor
At morning and at evening I seek You:
I offer You my face and outspread palms.
For You I yearn, to You I turn, Your grace to earn,
Like someone at my door who asks for alms.

The heavens do not have room for You to dwell,
And yet You have a palace in my mind.
For in my heart I hide Your holy name;
Your love spills over, it cannot be confined.

And so I praise God with my poetry,
For as long as holy breath lives within me.
Today's Question
When does your heart spill over with love and gratitude? How do you express this overflowing?

We encourage you to share your thoughts in response to our daily question by emailing elul@templemicah.org as we will, once again, incorporate many of them in our Yom Kippur afternoon service with Liz Lerman.
 Thank you for your participation!
