When You are the Ushpiza: Inviting Your Authentic Self Into The Sukkah<\/h2>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Come, let us enter.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

For in this place, any one of us can be.
\nThough the Awesome Days have ended.
\nCrown us with Keter
\nBack to the Source like roots of a tree.<\/p>\n

Let us move beyond prostration<\/div>\n
Our People’s great lamenting cry.<\/div>\n
Find the one who found us in the desert.<\/div>\n
And crowned us with the promise of freer lives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again.<\/div>\n
Prepare our bodies as offerings.<\/div>\n
Again.<\/div>\n
Pluck out our souls from the sand.<\/div>\n
Again.<\/div>\n
Remake our hearts as maps.<\/div>\n
And by sheltering each of us.<\/div>\n
Anoint us to our highest selves.<\/div>\n
That we may finally become who we are meant to be and at long last, enter the land.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
