this shalom aleichem
is shaky and sad
and every verse rhymes
with a tear
the candle flames (lit
seventeen minutes late)
are alight
unlike any hearts here
the angels of shabbos
both look the scene over
then turn to each other
and both heave a sigh
may it be like this next week
the evil one utters
amen
says the good one
the evil asks
why?
this home is a mess
and the people are too
yes, the food is prepared
but that’s all they could do
upset and unsettled
the bed left unmade
the table unset
and the lighting delayed
this shabbos is laden
with hurt and with pain
so how can you see this
and answer ‘amen’?
may it be like this next week
the good one replies
(watching the people
with tears in their eyes)
that candles are kindled
before the sun sets
that through all their struggles
they manage to rest
to honor shabbat
in the ways that they may
they gave it their best
and they got through the day
may it be like this weekly
in every domain
the evil one sighs
and then answers
amen
as shalom aleichem
soon draws to its end
the angels depart
as the lyrics ascend
the house is still filthy
the troubles don’t cease
yet still, here we are
blessing angels of peace
may peace be upon you
they pray in return
perhaps not this week
but the candles still burn

the sun set long ago.  we light the candles anyway.  I say Kiddush, let the words wrap around our tiny dining room, the same words that have wrapped around a million dining rooms and dorm rooms and sanctuaries and hovels  for centuries. 
I ask my partner (goyische, bashert, beloved) "what was the best part of your week" as we sit down to Shabbos dinner of takeout.  "choir rehearsal at synagogue," they reply, and my heart swells. 
I grab my phone to wish a slew of friends  "good Shabbos! may you get the rest you need!" in the morning, I will wrap myself in a tallis of silk I chose  not one I was given and daven to the music of an acoustic guitar. 
some will say that I have not kept Shabbat.  but I have remembered.  and I say
"this, too, is Torah."

Just wanted to share a little resource today: Shabbat cards from Recustom, a platform with  tools and resources to help shape rituals that work for each of us. I like this very simple set of Shabbat cards, with the blessings in Hebrew, English, and transliterated.
Sometimes it can be really difficult, trying to figure out what we think makes our life Jewish -- what's important to us, what rituals are prayers feel necessary to us, which mitzvot feel most important to keep. It's a deeply personal journey.
For me, Shabbat feels immensely important and is the cornerstone of what having a Jewish home means to me. Keeping Shabbat started very small -- just remembering to light two tealights, as on time as possible, every Friday with my partner. Now we've added wine/juice, and rarely I remember to have bread. It's a work in progress. Little tools like these cards, which are easy to read and have on hand, can help make keeping this ritual possible.
I wish I were a more adept woman that was used to managing a million things, but I'm not -- I am forgetful, I can be a little lazy after a long work day, and I struggle with the balance between my spiritual and modern lives. And that's okay.

Shabbos before the Jewish New Year!
Help Bubbeh Yenta get ready for Rosh Hashanah, and don't forget to tell the monsters to bring the honey.

The best revenge is to be visibly, unapologetically Jewish. Don't let the bastards get you down.

have any of you heard the christian version of shabbat prayers? crazzyyy
but seriously, it makes me super uncomfortable 😭 like whats the point of doing some jewish traditions (even when they change the meaning). everyone i’ve seen also kind of picks and chooses what tradition they follow??
i hate it tbh

We live by the laws, not die by them!
I was a little surprised this question even came up, but I can see why it could and I love how she answered it.

This Shabbat we lit 21 candles in honour of International Women's Day: 19 purple candles for the 19 women still held captive by Hamas, and two yellow candles. Bring Them Home Now.
