In the last week, I can’t count how many times I’ve said the phrase, “use your words.” Spoiler alert, it’s a lot. I hear it’s a byproduct of raising kids. However, I also know that I must model what that phrase means.
Rather than cry about everything that doesn’t go their way, we ask kids to use their words to express what they feel.
As adults, we know words matter. We use our words to speak out for change, to voice our concerns, and express our hopes for the future. We don’t always have the right words.
When I don’t know what to say, I turn to poetry and song. I feel relief when I hear the words that speak to my soul. As I listen or sing along I realize these were the words I needed.
On Saturday night, you will find the words that you need. Together, we will conclude the two-weeks of programming that have guided us through Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom HaAtzmaut. Congregant and folk guitarist, Dr. Artie Gumer, has arranged a fabulous program of songs to bring us comfort, hope, and peace.
Join us.
