During Ta-Shma (Come and Learn) and Shabbat morning service (Parashat Bo), Rabbi Ora used poetry and writings of all kinds to connect the parasha to our current lives (some of which led straight through to Sunday’s intro session of the new Ritual Lab & Learn, but that’s another post).
In case you were there and want to read and reflect a bit more, or in case you weren’t there but might still like to read a couple great poems and delve into an interesting article, here are the links. Thanks to Rabbi Ora for providing these:
- Untitled (“Let’s remake the world with words”), by Gregory Orr (from the beginning of services)
- Seeing, in Three Pieces, by Kate Knapp Johnson
- The Torah Case for Reparations, by Aryeh Bernstein (from our Torah discussion on Parshat Bo)
