Tasting the Divine

Taste the Divine

I hope that we were able to find some additional support for our constant seeking of a connection to the Divine yesterday on Yom Kippur.

I know that I discover again, as I often do ,that to seek the Divine in community is a truly Jewish way of seeking.

Some may go the the mountaintop- other descend into underground caves in order to establish their connections.

But, yidlach, we do it together, stuffed side by side in a room, with
raspy voices and bad breath; fighting caffeine headaches and beating our
chests as our souls cry out to each other, the the Universe, the
Divine we are your people and we have crowned you God the Sovereign who
is Reality,-let us taste of the Divine.

As I break the fast on bagels and lox, I taste the Divine.
