We joined in chorus, and our capital - she'll soon come home... #BlueWave #WeDidIt #AliceInWonderland

We will not know what to do. ואנחנו לא נדע מה נעשה. Vote! Tuesday! • The Hebrew phrase holds a lot of meaning for me. The first time I heard it was as a song, the soundtrack to a Holocaust documentary called "To Live Forever." The next words in the prayer are "כי עליך עינינו," for our eyes are turned to you (god). The prayer goes on to ask god to recall his mercy for it is eternal, and to bestow his kindness upon us as we have hoped for. But to me, the idea that we wait for god, that our eyes are turned eternally toward god, waiting for his kindness - the idea that we are helpless and don't know what to do - is unbearable. We have power. We humans can and do affect and determine our own trajectories. So this week I turn my eyes to the polls for my salvation: vote! • • • #blackout #blackoutpoetry #blackoutpoem #poem #poetry #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #siddur #siddurpoem #siddurpoetry #hebrew #hebrewpoetry #hebrewpoem #jew #jewish #jewishpoetry #jewishpoem #hope #vote

A Poem for Pittsburgh • Glass shatters and bullets rip through flesh and bone and blood spills. Again. Again we push through screaming pain and growth comes again. Again - because the spirit of every living thing redeems and saves us. נשמת כל חי גואל ומושיע. • • #blackout #blackoutpoem #poem #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #hebrew #hebrewpoem #jewish #jewishpoetry

#blackout history is a long and a sad tale; turn to wonder

Two poems for Yom Kippur: כפרה זו חשך וצלמות -- מצאתי כפר ואלך לחיים Atonement is darkness and shadow -- I found a heretic and I will go towards life באהבה מתיר פחד -- בלבב שלם ברא שמחה With love he releases fear -- with a full heart he created joy

Our family. Our house. My history.
