Blessing for Rosh Ḥodesh Adar Alef — by Kohenet Ilana Joy Streit

Blessing for Rosh Ḥodesh Adar Alef
May we learn to take up space,
even more than we are used to

May we start practicing now
being joyful and powerful

May we be patient with ourselves
as we try to learn
how to be patient

May we sit in the dark, breathing
with Esther and Mordecai
and even – boo – hey man

knowing that their time will come
knowing that our time will come

knowing that we can count on the moon
to bring us, in time,
to slowing and fasting
and merry-making and winning

and sweetness at the center of our lives


This prayer was created by Kohenet Ilana Joy Streit for the new moon of the month of Adar Alef in the year 5776 (2016).
