Essence of Elul
Essence of Elul: Offerings from Beth Israel Members
From time to time during Elul, we shared recordings of members reflecting thoughts about the themes of the High Holy Days (God as sovereign, new beginnings, teshuvah, making amends, cleaning the slate, being better). These short recordings might be in the form of spoken narrative, music, poetry, dance, visual art, or other forms of expression. They were also shared as part of the weekly emails.

Turning Mourning Into Joy by Marion Hamermesh
Meira sings an original tune for R'shut L'chol Adam (p. 12 in Machzor). It reminds her that she is not simply a pawn in the workings of the world, that she can make the choice to change things. "That I can choose to make my life, and this world, a better place."
