We want to say "THANK YOU"!
Thank YOU for choosing Beineinu.
Thank YOU for be willing to be a part of the journey with us.
Thank YOU for creating holy space.
YOU energize and inspire.
We are feeling blessed and grateful.
The season is communal but the work, it's personal. Ask yourself;
Were the high holy days holy?
Were they filled with some joy and some meaning?
Was the journey worthwhile?
If the answer is "yes", then keep doing what you are doing and add to it. If the answer is "no" or "not so much", redirect, change course and lean into another area.
Some reminders from our time together:
Let's get back to (the good) ME so we can return to a culture of WE.
Let's not achieve the Seamless goal of "zero human contact".
Let's refuse to accept "I can't.", "I don't want to." and "I won't."
Let's approach everyone as if they have the potential to be our friend.
Let's love our friends AND ourselves.
Let's have courage to be vulnerable and embrace the process as a pathway to joy.
Let's care for each other the way we do whenever there is a crisis (only without the crisis).
Let's walk around with the faith that every inhale is the presence of God and every exhale is the result of what we choose to do.
Let's be willing to say "Hineini." "Here I am ready to accept whatever is asked of me."
Let's celebrate the memory of those who helped nurture and sustain us.
Let's always have shakers in our hands and be willing to dance.
We can't wait to be together again.
Join us for Sukkot and our next Shabbat Beineinu (details below).
Shabbat shalom u'mevorach,
Laurie and Daphna
