There is nothing “mere” about water.
We couldn’t see the embryo,
but we saw water enter my womb,
carrying a cluster of cells, hopes, and DNA,
a Divine Spark soaked in darkness.

@delilahtov I love this so much

If you wouldn't call Abraham "Abram," you shouldn't deadname transfolx either #PRIDE #Pride2021

"In the Torah, name changes signify moments of transformation."

In @jdforward, @HillelIntl's @scatteredleaves shares why renaming rituals are just as significant (if not more) for transgender Jews. #pride #Pride2021 #hillelpride

In the Torah portion this week, the Israelites return to an unhealthy coping mechanism in a moment of fear and uncertainty and they were forgiven for it. Let's give ourselves the same grace and compassion when we miss the mark. #kitisa #goldencalf #selfcompassion

@rabbisandra Wonderful news!! Here's a prayer you can use <3 https://t.co/9FFt8NhneS

[Heather Paul @scatteredleaves]

@rabbijosh You can't expect others to respect your boundaries if you don't respect your own. If you bend or break your own boundaries when someone asks you to, don't be surprised when that person asks you to do it again.

[Heather Paul @scatteredleaves]

And one shiva minyan out of the seven could be on zoom for each memorial?

[Heather Paul @scatteredleaves]

1 year ago today, I wrote a shoutout to shuls that livestream. I was laid up with endo pain and couldn't leave home. I had no idea that 3 months later, EVERY shul would be online. What a strange world. Hope we find ways to stay accessible when this is over. It makes a difference.

[Heather Paul @scatteredleaves]

What if every shul agreed to offer one zoom shabbat service per month and to livestream everything else, after this is over?
