About the revealing of Torah at mount Sinai it says “all the nations saw the voices.” Emily wants to express the depth and beauty of her synesthesiac Sinai Experience through art and music, the colors her soul knows at the rock of its truth. Emily is a Rabbinic Student in the Aleph Ordination Program: the Alliance for Jewish Renewal. She studied Torah at Nishmat, the Advanced Center of Torah Study for Women, and holds a BFA in Drama from New York University's Tisch School.

When the sky is orange
at nine a.m., it looks like dusk.
It’s the transitional time
Of twilight and morning
Of nothing itself.
On Yom Kippur, in the liminal space
Are we dying or new shrouded in white,
in the unknown of a changing self,
meeting God and emerging maybe?
The sky is blazing orange with smoke,
How can I know
is the sun rising or setting on our world?
You'll love our roundtable.
You'll love our roundtable.
