This week we prepare for Passover—the holiday of freedom.

And in Israel, between cleaning and shopping, people are running to shelters. Missiles fall. And still—they set the table.

How do you celebrate freedom under threat?
The same way our ancestors did.

You celebrate anyway.
Because not celebrating is letting hate win.

Passover isn’t just history—it’s now.
Every generation faces a new Egypt.
And every generation tells the story anyway.

This is what resilience looks like.

Shabbat Shalom 💙

Shabbat Shalom, friends 🤍

This marks the 29th Shabbat in a row that I’ve had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. What began as a simple post has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined.

Week after week, you bring light, warmth, and connection into this space. Seeing the images you share, whether candles, tables, family moments, or quiet reflections has turned this into a truly special tradition for our community.

What started as a collection of lovely photos has become something deeper. Many of you now share glimpses of how Shabbat lives inside your homes and hearts, and it’s incredibly moving to witness those moments.

And this week, perhaps more than ever, as conflict continues in the Middle East, my heart longs for a Shabbat filled with lasting peace for Israel, for the region, and for the world.

Wishing all of you a peaceful and meaningful Shabbat.

You know yourself better than anyone.

Not always perfectly—but more than anyone else ever could.

Still, we second-guess. We look outside. We trade our knowing for someone else’s opinion.

And sometimes that helps.
But sometimes… we abandon what we already felt was right.

So pause.

Before asking anyone else—ask yourself:

What do I already know? What do I feel?

Listen to that quiet voice.
It’s been there all along.

Trust it.

Shabbat Shalom 💙

This week I lived four seasons in one day.

Morning was winter.

I was doing something for the first time and my body went straight into stress mode. Migraine. Physically ill. Turns out my system took it more seriously than I realized.

Then it ended. And it went perfectly.

Suddenly it was spring.

Euphoria. “I did it!”

So I made plans based entirely on that high.

Then summer hit.

Israeli hot. Wrong place. Wrong fit. I kept thinking: why am I here?

All I wanted was to go home.

Eventually I did.

And autumn arrived.

Calm. Quiet. My house. My guy. My puppy.

Just like that I was okay again.

Four emotional seasons. One day.

My first thought was: what’s wrong with me?

Then I realized something.

None of those moods were wrong.

Winter nerves: this matters.
Spring euphoria: celebrate.
Summer discomfort: not your place.
Autumn calm: this is home.

Moods aren’t mistakes.

They’re information.

You’re allowed to move through four seasons in a single day.

Let them teach you.
