Imperfect vessels containing overwhelming light…
Alone they shatter, together they hold.
How sacred are Your people, joining together below with the heavenly host above.
Together, they carry the light into the darkest corners of our world and our souls.
Together.

In times like these, ahabath Yisrael stands as not just an ethos but an organizing principle of our reality.
In the heavens above as upon the earth below.
In the story of humanity as within the heart of every human being.
An alternative to the madness of faddish nihilism, fear, hate.
An alternative to the burden of generational trauma renewed again and again.
Love.
