Draw A Line: Creating Sacred Space During The Pandemic

Kadosh means holy but it also means separate. Conscious separation and mindfulness create holiness, so you may want to create a sacred space by drawing lines and deciding when to cross them.



Draw a line in space around yourself,

As you sit in front of your screen

Declare, “Here is where I have holy conversations.” 


Trace a line in time to separate Now from Before and After.

These are the hours for rest and joy, redemption and community.

Happy New Year!



Create a line around sound and sing at home with the Cantor.

Make the music holy with your breath.

Every breath is a prayer.


Drape a line around yourself!

Put on a tallis and a kippa,

Everything underneath them is holy and that means you. 


Decide that there are lines of privilege you won’t cross

And consider that there are lines you should join:

Picket lines, protest lines and lines to vote.


Blessed Holy Wholeness,

Though apart we are together

As we stand on Holy Ground.  

Shabbat Shalom, Shanah Tova and G’mar Khatima Tova!


Amen
