Dear all,

There are so many who are having trouble navigating life in this particular moment in time. And so, I want you to know….

I see you.

If you are feeling vulnerable, I see you.

If you are afraid, I am here.

If you are LGBTQ, and are uncertain if you have a place, welcome home.

If you are struggling, I embrace you.

If you are a refugee, we have a sanctuary for you.

If you don’t have an anchor, I will help ground you.

If you are in darkness, remember that you still have holy light in your soul.

I can see your light, because it is beautiful.

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
