Excerpt from museletter:

“The Days of Awe are a time of deep reflection, soul accounting, as my tradition calls it. It’s really a neat thing to finally be settling into the liturgy and the prayer I’ve been learning along the way, and not just sing the notes, but feel the words through the notes. As one of my teachers phrases it, sometimes our job is to “word paint.” I love this image of painting the words with our voices.

When I was feeling really overwhelmed with all that I had to learn and do, my dear teacher Rabbi Diane Elliot gave me the task of drawing or writing out a map of all of the meaningful moments/touchstones for the High Holiday services for me are. While staying in my friend’s cabin in the woods in Mineral Bluff, GA, I took some watercolors out and did just that and wound up with some art that feels really comforting to look at. It truly is a gift to be doing this for work and I feel so so honored to be learning on this path.”
