Tekiah shevarim-teruah Tekiah. The long steady Tekiah sounds of the shofar always surround the other more broken sounds of the shevarim and the teruah. In this meditation, we consider the shevarim and teruah sounds to represent our brokenness and suffering, and the Tekiahs that stand on either side to represent the divine container that can hold all that brokenness and suffering. We practice feeling both, moving back and forth between the shattered pain and the calm steadiness of God inside us that can hold anything, hold it all.
Torah quote during the meditation is from our parsha, parashat Nitzavim, Deuteronomy 30: 4.
