The Joy of Collective Repair
Teshuva can look like extending joy, not afflicting our souls. I want to turn our attention to the joyful parts of getting it right, getting in balance.
D’var Achrei Mot (after death) and Kedoshim (holiness)
I am suggesting we commit ourselves to remembering not just what is written in the Torah, but its impact on us for better or worse, and that much of the Jewish experience and wisdom isn't contained there, and that we seek that out for study and conversation and recognition as well.
