Thank you!

Mar 23, 2022

Hi coffee buyers :)

I just realized I could come here
to say thank you.

It may seem like a small thing,
a virtual cuppa or two.

But (as a rabbi last night
at a rally for Ukraine reminded us)

Judaism, which guides so much
of my life – more so each day –

is not a religion that values grand
gestures so much as small acts

of acknowledgment and kindness,
for kindred and stranger alike.

Every single time someone
"buys me a coffee,"

I feel a pang of connection
and appreciation, a remembering

that my words matter to someone –
you!

And this is why I keep writing them.

Love,
Jena
