Daniella Rabbani Instagram – 🧬🔮*Disclaimer: The term Reparenting may have nothing to do with one’s actual parents. AND there are lots of young Jewish girls who do read from the Torah and love it or hate it or are indifferent to the experience.* I never even thought of it, truly ever, until I heard @womenofthewall speak at a conference with @telavivinstitute. When Leslie, the founder, gave her presentation about advocating for women to pray freely at the Western Wall, I was OVERCOME with feeling. A longing came over me- to connect to the divine,the one of my ancestors, in a sacred way: By way of a woman’s voice halooing to God in her native tongue. From a book that’s been kept word perfect for thousands of years. I’m a storyteller and a singer, I thought. And I believe deeply in the power of the divine feminine. That it is the women who will usher us into a world of peace if we let them. Just look at @everytown- an organization devoted to gun safety in the US started by mothers! So if I believe that then I must be that. And this was *my* first (or one millionth) step. I wept nearly every session with @myhotrabbi who taught me to sing the ancient tune of the Jews. I tell the rest of the story on this week’s episode of The Mom Curious Podcast but suffice it to say: it was no big deal and a monumental moment all at once. And I’m so proud of 12 year old me who piped up to say HEY! I STILL MATTER! Yes all these years later! And yes she sure does. I hope this inspires you to do a thing your younger self would be proud of. Let me know in the comments what that might be, wouldja? 🔮🧬
