If you’re anything like me, you can’t think about much else right now. I just wanted to share a few reflections from the diaspora and what it feels like to be here, watching, praying, waiting, and still so deeply connected. 💙

The holiday where we eat outside, shake leaves and a huge citron 🍋🌾 under the stars in a slightly unstable structure. A holiday about gratitude and connection. Chag Sukkot Sameach!

Yom Kippur is not a day of heaviness but a chance to return to yourself. It is a day for reflection and honesty, a time to see clearly the person you hope to become and to step closer to that vision. In its quiet there is renewal, and in its stillness we pray to be inscribed in the Book of Life for another year.

Gmar Chatima Tova ✨Wishing you a safe and meaningful fast.

I drew this in 2019, during the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I had breast cancer, finished chemo, had a double mastectomy and was about to begin radiation. It was a time of fire, of loss, of uncertainty.

In this drawing my eyes are closed, but they appear in my hands. For me that was a way of saying that what I could not see or control was with Hashem. The yellow aura became the light I didn’t believe I still carried. The fire is everything I thought would consume me but didn’t. And at the very top is the חי, the Hebrew word for life, that remind survival and renewal are possible.

You’ll notice a shofar in this drawing. We blow the shofar to open the Book of Life on Rosh Hashanah. That’s when we stop and think about how we’ve been living, the choices we’ve made, and how we want to live in the year ahead. Once again we blow the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur, that's when the book is closed and we hope to be sealed and inscribed in the Book of Life. That was my hope then, and it is still my hope now.

I share this now not just as my story but as an invitation. These days are for reflection. Some people journal. Some people pray. Some people create. My way that year was through drawing. Yours may look different, but the work is the same: to return to your soul, to see clearly what you have done well, to face honestly what you need to repair, and to ask yourself how you will live more fully in the year ahead.

We all rise from some kind of fire. The question is how we will carry that fire into a life worth living, a life worthy of being written in the Book of Life.

Mediterranean Pasta Salad-highly requested recipe ⬇️
A bright, fresh, make-ahead salad that’s totally adjustable. The real star here is the lemon garlic dressing, but the rest is up to you. Swap what you want, add what you like. This is how I make mine.
Ingredients:

Pasta Salad
•1 lb rotini (or any small pasta like bowtie or penne)
•1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (multicolored if you like)
•½ cup kalamata olives, halved or left whole
•1 red bell pepper, finely diced
•¼ cup chopped banana pepper rings
•1 small red onion (or ½ a large one), thinly sliced + soaked in cold water with salt for 10min
•3 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced
•½ cup feta cheese (preferably packed in brine), crumbled

Dressing
•½ cup extra virgin olive oil
•⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
•1 tablespoon lemon zest
•2 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane (or very finely minced)
•2 teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
•Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
•1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:
•Cook pasta in generously salted water according to the package (9 minutes for rotini is perfect).
•Drain and rinse with cold water until pasta is completely cool.
•While the pasta cooks, slice red onion and soak it in cold water with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes. Drain before adding.
•Prep the rest of the veggies and feta, and toss them into a large bowl with the cooled pasta.
•In a jar, combine all dressing ingredients. Shake until well blended. Taste and adjust: more honey if it’s too tart, more oil if needed.
•Pour dressing over salad and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve cold, and enjoy every bite. ⬇️Tips+Tricks in the comments⬇️

My family came to this country in the 1800s, fleeing the pogroms in Russia. If it weren’t for the USA, I probably wouldn’t be alive. It’s on days like today that I think about that, about how lucky I am to raise Jewish kids in a place where we’re free to be who we are. I’m deeply grateful to everyone in the military who protects that freedom. Even with the rise in antisemitism, I still believe this country has our back in the long run. Happy Fourth and Shabbat shalom! 🇺🇸🧨🎆

Corn 🌽 update! My handsome Guatemalan man (mi Chapin) who grew corn the first 20 years of his life is bringing that tradition into our family and honestly I love it. They’re getting so big and I cannot wait until we get actual corn!! We’re def in a good spot for it too since this area is known for corn, to***co, and cotton so it’s kind of meant to be. We’ve always wanted to raise our kids with both of our cultures, Jewish and Guatemalan, and this just feels like one of those full circle l’dor v’dor moments. From his roots to our garden. There are tomatoes and cucumbers growing in there too 🥰🍅🥒

We go into this Shabbat Praying for our brothers and sisters in Israel and Iran. May Hashem watch over every soul and bring peace to our people. Holding close the strength and beauty of being Jewish, especially now. We’ve walked through darkness before and we’ll get through this too. Shabbat shalom🕯️🤲🏼🕯️
🤍עם ישראל חי💙
