A Free Gift: A Five Day Teshuva Journey
Day 1: How to do Teshuva Right Now Over Rosh Hashanah, I thought of you. I thought of all the beautiful women who make up our community, each with her own story, struggles, hopes, and tefillos. And I davened for all of you: that you should be blessed with a year of revealed goodness, healing, growth, connection, and joy. As I was davening, something struck me. The language of writing appears again and again throughout the Rosh Hashanah davening: Hashem, write us for a good ye

Where the Parasha meets your story 📖🍾
Have you sat down at the Shabbos seudah and wondered which parasha it is? Have you been told which parasha it is and you tried to remember what that parasha talks about?

How the experiences of the Avos and Imahos, the struggles of Bnei Yisrael, and the timeless teachings of Chazal can help you understand what is happening inside you—right now?

Recalculating…🚶♀️
As Elul approaches, in what is often both the busiest and the slowest time of the year, I keep thinking about something we all do without even realizing it. We get into the car, and before we even pull out of the driveway, we open Waze. Why? Not because we don’t know how to drive. But because we want to know how to get to our destination. Elul, the end of one year and the beginning of another, is coming. Between the school supplies, Yom Tov menus, new clothing, and to-do list

Before We Sit on the Floor
In just a few hours, we'll sit on the floor. We'll dim the lights, remove our leather shoes, and begin reading Eichah once again. And we wonder - How do we mourn for something we've never known? How do we cry for a Beis HaMikdash we never saw? This week, while preparing for Tisha B'Av, one word kept echoing in my mind. Chazon - Vision. We often think of Chazon as referring to Yeshayahu's vision of destruction. But throughout our tefillos, we ask for another kind of vision: ות

Only A Few Spots Left!💥
This is my last email before tomorrow. As I write this, there are only a few spots left. By this time tomorrow, a circle of women will be gathered together—writing, breathing, laughing, reflecting, and giving themselves the gift of a day away from the noise of everyday life. If you've been thinking, "Maybe I should..." this is your moment. Sometimes we wait until life calms down before taking care of ourselves. More often, it's taking care of ourselves that helps life feel ca

What's good about Shiva Asar B'Tamuz ❓
Today, Shiva Asar B’Tammuz, begins the Three Weeks. But Shiva Asar is seventeen. And seventeen is the gematria of טוב. Good. What is good about Shiva Asar B’Tammuz? What is good about mourning, suffering and grief? There is something very good about the three weeks. All through the year, we feel pressure to keep going. To function. To manage. To stay positive. To be grateful. To move on. But the Three Weeks give us permission to feel what is broken. The Beis Hamikdash was the

Mazal Tov! It's on the shelves! 🗳️
The past few months we shared bits and pieces about the new card deck. And women keep asking: What exactly is this? The simplest answer is this: It's a therapeutic writing card deck. It's a simple, guided way to check in with yourself. Through images. Through writing. Through reflection. In less time than it takes to fold a load of laundry. Life doesn't always leave room to check in with ourselves. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the thousand little things that fi
