Parshat Lech-Lecha 5785
We make assumptions about others based on what we see: what they wear, what they drive, their work, past-times… And we project upon the other who passes our superficial entrance exam what we want them to be — i.e., more like us!

Yom Kippur Singing

Too Late So Early
a song of our times:
Gets too late so damn early these days.
We’re slogging through thick purple haze
that obscures and confuses, everyone loses.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
Hope our kids keep their innocence phase;
But the news is so loud, can’t hide in the cloud.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
Late for joy, late for laughter, for life,
Late for those killed by bullet, by knife.
We climb out of the dark, raise our heads, strike a spark,
Build a place to be safe from the strife.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
Make it better together — there’s ways
We can be the new dawn, before it’s all gone.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
