An Appetite for Holiness: U-va-a-a

U-va-a-a b’chol avat nafsho eyl-HaMakom
Appetite For Holiness Hebrew text
And he (the Levite) shall come with all the desire of his soul to the Place. (Deuteronomy 18:6)

With this practice, we invite the Levite, the part of ourselves that is the artist for God, to come to the Center of Holiness and partake of the bounty that is rightly his. We welcome and respond to the hunger of that expressive aspect, by feeding her a fair and generous share of our attention and honor.
