"This week I sat in my #synagogue’s sanctuary for the first time since the #HighHolidays. It was a Wednesday night, and I was attending an “#upstander” training to learn what I was legally allowed to do if I found myself at the scene of an #ICE encounter — something that seems more and more likely every day here in #Minneapolis.

These training sessions are being held daily around the #TwinCities. They are happening online, in houses of worship, and at restaurants and breweries that are donating their spaces. But it felt important to me to attend one at a synagogue because I know the inner voice I’ve been hearing lately — none of this is okay — is an echo of everything I’ve learned through my #Jewish education. And I’m not alone.

“A lot of my Sunday school experience growing up was about how to question authority,” a Jewish friend I’ll call L told me."

Susan sent me this for Yom Kippur and I had to share it with you.

She wrote in perfect Hebrew:

"Dear Inbal

Easy fasting

May you be sealed in the book of life (gmar chatimah tovah)

Much love and prayers

Susan"

This is what it's all about 💙

#YomKippur #HighHolidays

On Yom Kippur, we stand between who we were and who we’re becoming.

Not perfection, but truth: seeing where we missed the mark, asking forgiveness, and finding the courage to grow.

Fasting brings clarity, reminding us what truly matters.

May this day guide you to honest reflection, change, and compassion.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

It begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 1st and continues through nightfall on Thursday, October 2nd.

This is your guide to Yom Kippur.

To those of you fasting — may your fast be meaningful and easy.

To those of you not fasting — may you find connection in other ways.

This isn’t a race. Transformation takes time — not 10 days, not a deadline.

The High Holidays call us inward: reflect, repent, commit. But lasting change is slow, gentle, step by step.

So if you’re overwhelmed — pause. Breathe. Let Shabbat remind you that rest is holy, presence is enough, and you have time.

Shabat Shalom 💙
Inbal

I'm sharing my annual Humanistic blowing of the shofar video for anyone who hasn't had the chance to hear #shofar during his month of Elul (the Jewish month of preparation for the High Holidays)

Im dedicating this to all who are about the work of Tikun Olam (world repair), but especially to my dear friends at The Spinoza Havurah and all of my friends from Judaism Unbound and the Unyeshiva.
