And since it is morning, I offer this blessing of Modah Ani from our morning liturgy as a way to ground us as we begin our day and let it serve as a reminder to always be thankful for the gifts we have been given.

Modah anee lefanecha ruah chai vekayam, she-he-chezarta bee nishmatee b’chemla, raba emunatecha
I offer thanks to You, the Divine Source of all for You have restored my soul within me; You God are Awesome. #Judaism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akvh55LlW08

Some #Torah a reflection on Vayishlach: A genuine encounter with God is life-changing, and after his wrestling match with God Jacob names the place, פְּנִיאֵ֑ל Peni-el (the presence of God) and says, “I have seen the Divine פָּנִ֣ים אֶל־פָּנִ֔ים peniel el peniel face to face, yet my life was spared.” #rabbisandra

For my new peeps here: In this week's #Torah we find the words מַה־נּוֹרָ֖א הַמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה - Ma Nora hamakom hazei which means how awesome is this place. #Judaism #rabbisandra

Some #Torah for this Torah portion and for the month of Kislev
