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.
 
While Rabbi Silver is away, she has asked her colleagues to share their prayers and kavvanot with our community. Here is one by Trisha Arlin.
It Is Upon Us

It is upon us!
It is upon us to repair the broken places.
It is upon us to comfort the sick in body and heart.
It is upon us to bring sweetness to those around us.
It is upon us to face the truth.
It is upon us to see that justice is done.
It is upon us to return to our core and decent selves.
It is upon us to understand that our prayers are empty without action.
It is upon us to stand up for the survival of all our communities.
We bend our knees!
We bend our knees to acknowledge how small we are in the face of all this responsibility.
We bend our knees to warm up for all the tasks to come.
We bend our knees so that we may dance at our victories.
We are all one in the One-ness, there is no other.
And there is no one else to do the hard work.
It is upon us
To save the world.
Amen

-- Trisha Arlin
