Lift your Hands to Heaven

Hey Sweetest Friends - 

We are on the bridge between Yom Kippur and Succot!  We are about to leave our homes and go out to live in a simple shelter for seven days!  Why?!?!  What meaning could there be in such a crazy and strange practice??  Why leave our beautiful homes and ‘go granola’ for a week?!

What would you say if I told you that doing so is the secret to raising the banner of HaShem in the world, pointing everyone’s eyes upwards towards heaven, and inspiring others (and ourselves!) to remember what is most important about this special life we live!

Here’s a 15-minute meditation on this week’s Torah portion that reminds us to raise our hands to Heaven!

 

Tons of love,
