We come to Shabbat after a week of voting for or against those representatives we elected to serve us. I would like to briefly offer a wider perspective for Shabbat and resting in unification and peace.

In the face of the current reality we are shown, of so much suffering, war, hate and polarization, it is easy to want to take sides, and to respond by pushing back, maligning or resisting against what we don’t want.

I’d like to suggest that instead, we surrender to our greater divine self, and open our spiritual heart, to become a clear channel for divine Love, to consciously harmonize with the expansive Love that we truly are.
