Kol Nidrei 5783
Rabbi Noa Kushner
The Dawn of Righteousness

It’s as if the angels are saying:

“Get out of here! If you linger too long on this place and what it did to you, you’ll never make it.
Stop thinking that if you only did this one thing you could fix it,
Forget combing through the ashes one more time,
Rehashing the arguments — we’re telling you, there’s nothing left!

It’s time to go! Deliver yourself! Emerge, escape and be born!”

Yom Kippur 5783
Rabbi Noa Kushner
The Crown of Truth

And it turns out truth doesn’t need a lot of fanfare, it doesn’t need a fancy room
It can be said plainly,
It doesn’t need private planes
It changes us
Once said out loud, truth is like a shot heard round the world.

Rosh Hashanah 5783
Rabbi Noa Kushner
Run

There are times when we are open enough
When we are sitting in the doorway of our tent, the doorway of the doorway / פֶּֽתַח־הָאֹ֖הֶל
There are times when our eyes are open enough
To realize the ladder in the corner is going somewhere we need to go

And so we run, like Abraham did, to greet any messenger who comes our way
There’s no time for signing wavers or downloading apps
You either go up the ladder or not
You either run to greet the messengers or go and hide inside
