Even in the Darkness: Zarach BaChoshech

Zarach BaChoshech Or LaY’sharim, Chanun v’Rachum v’Tzadik
Even in the Darkness Hebrew text
Even in the darkness a light shines for the upright, gracious, compassionate and just. (Psalm 112:4)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 112 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

The light that we shine sustains us through the Darkness, through difficult times. That light awakens in us (and in others) the qualities of Grace, Compassion and a Passion for Justice. This 3 part round is a practice of affirming and strengthening that shining inner light, as we face hard challenges, and scary times.
