Dad. Husband. Rabbi. Once called a spiritual badass. I drop the F-bomb more than I probably should. We must love each other, fiercely. 1/2 of #PlaidDads
When you’re a parent of small children, you pray for a moment of peace to shower or drink your coffee or just… think.

When you drop your youngest off at university and the house is so quiet, you long for their joyful noise.

From our son when he was five. We are two lucky dads.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there who cares for kids. We are grateful ♥️

Read. This. Book.

This moment is wretched. And there is still beauty. Look at all the people rising up and using their voices for decency, democracy, compassion, justice.

Amplify the good.

Took our kids to see Come From Away last night. Powerful reminder that ordinary people have immense power to do good in the world.

On the shortest day of the year
On the longest night
in the cold
and the dark
and the dreary

I pray
every busted soul
each weary heart
all the wonderers
the wanderers
the weavers
the wartorn
know tenderness
love
gentleness
and joy.

Today, we celebrate you, my AKR (z”l).

Our fairy Godmother.

My husband saw that butter was on sale and it is possible we have an entire shelf of our freezer full of butter.

So there’s that.

But he’s awfully cute so I’m gonna stay married to him. 🥰

May we all know joy in abundance
fierce peace
and tenderness
in every heart
throughout the land.

#ShabbatShalom beloveds.

You are loved.

Seven years ago tonight was the last time I had a conversation with my beloved best friend, Ann Kaner-Roth (z"l). She went on to have a stroke a few days later and breathed her final breath on the shortest day of the year.

Grief is a beast.

Sending love to all, especially the busted-hearted. 💔

My children find it endlessly amusing that I enjoy eating eggplant and I do not know what to make of this.
