Our Foremothers: Beautiful and Strong

I am grateful to Artist Joanne Fink for hosting the session which inspired this poem, and for Reb Alan Kaufman for his wisdom sharing...

Our Foremothers

Our foremothers

Beautiful and strong

Deeply rooted trees

Gevurot and Tiferet

We the leaves

Learned

Still learning

Always turn to the light

-Yael Fischman, 2024
