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.

For the end of Pesach 5781:
At this time
both in the past
and in the present
we walk through water.

in awe and disbelief
we watch as every shade
of blue and green and gray
stands to attention.

if we touch the walls
they give way just a little
and some say
we can reach through
to pick the sweetest apples
we have ever tasted.

As once again
we walk, chastened,
carefully into the new places

let us try
to find the apples.

may we taste their sweetness
may it sustain us
may they be
our new bread.

Rabbi Deborah Silver

Elohei Avoteinu, God of our ancestors

And we say,
Amen.
