B’shuv Yah, Sh’vut amo, yagayl yaakov, yismach Yisrael

When God returns and restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice. (Psalm 14:7)

Even when it’s looking bad, with bullies in charge, and the poor oppressed, and cynicism reigning its disguised terror … still we look to God who is stirring in us beneath our despair. In the depths of our captivity a vision arises: God returning to our midst to free us from greed, fear and the illusions of separation. As God finds a home within us, we return home to ourselves, to our joy, and to the truth of our connection.
