In other news, I just drafted a #Torah #poem comparing the mishkan to a womb, so that's how my day is going. #whatrabbisdo #andpoets

I am getting so excited about the next two classes I'm teaching -- a one-session class on chapter 9 of the #megillah of #Esther, and a three-session class on spiritual preparations for #Pesach. This is my jam. #whatrabbisdo (The Pesach class will be on Zoom, message me if you want reg info.)

Just rolled the Torah scroll to the right place for Tuesday morning's reading. I guess the new year really is happening. :) #whatrabbisdo

Rabbis and cantors are gathering in Chicago today for our Regional Chaverim Convening! It's a packed day of learning, planning, and--mostly importantly--connecting. Moral leadership is what this moment demands, and together, we're stronger and better equipped to provide it. #whatrabbisdo

As our teacher Rabbi Rachel Kahn-Troster has said, this struggle is not a sprint OR a marathon; it's a relay race. We're so glad to be on a team with these incredible leaders.

A wizard is holding a scroll that reads, in cursive, "How to Summon a Demon." In the pentacle on the floor behind him is a smiling lemon. His thought bubble says, "Man I hate cursive."
At first glance out of the corner of my eye I thought this said "how to summon a sermon," which tells you everything you need to know, really. #WhatRabbisDo

Cantorial soloist, music director, and I are rehearsing high holiday music. Our cleaning crew is washing the windows outside the building. Metaphor for #teshuvah: wiping away the schmutz of a year's worth of missteps so light can again shine. #WhatRabbisDo

#WhatRabbisDo We teach, learn, and study. We sit with the sad and the sick. We plan and lead services. We work with many committees to make things happen. Some of us are women. Some of us are disabled. Some of us volunteer outside our work responsibilities. Most of us never really retire.

I've heard a surprising number of people say that about being a rabbi. Only problem is they have no idea #whatrabbisdo, and zero interest in five years of grad school with the attendant expense.

I'm going to spend the afternoon supervising the final step of a person converting to Judaism. I'm deeply moved by the souls who choose to take on the Yoke of the Covenant in these times. #whatrabbisdo #mikveh #gerut

LOL: contra the algorithm, this isn't adult content, it's just a book cover that riffs on a (public domain) Matisse artwork. Anyway: click through to learn more. I'm so psyched to be midwifing this book into the world. #whatrabbisdo #andbuilders #Bayit

A Duolingo language learning screen. The sentence I just translated in Arabic reads, in English, "I do not know everything in Arabic."
Understatement of the year. #whatrabbisdo #reallyslowly

The rabbis and synagogue presidents in my county have spent the last hour talking about rising antisemitism and white nationalism. Everywhere. Including here.

I spent my early morning reading Sally Wiener Grotta's extraordinary manuscript for Daughters of Eve, and I am so excited to be midwifing this book into print for @bayit.bsky.social . Can't wait to share these essays with the world! #whatrabbisdo

Duolingo screencap. "There is a small mountain in my city" in Arabic.
I don't actually live in a city. And the hills are around it, not in it, exactly. But tonight's Duo is as close to true as I can get. My knowledge is so limited; sometimes it feels futile. But I am trying. Bit by bit. Day by day. #whatrabbisdo
