Lift Up Your Eyes

Cantor Becky Mann joined us in November for a weekend as our Music at Emanu El Artist in Residence. In this shabbat message, she explores the powerful message of lifting our eyes to find hope, healing, and divine presence even in our most challenging moments. Through the stories of our ancestors — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — we're reminded that God is often found in the moments we least expect.

Key themes explored:

✨ The power of presence and living in the "right now" of Shabbat

✨ Finding courage to lift our eyes during difficult times

✨ Jacob's revelation: "God is in this place and I did not know it"

✨ Discovering light and hope in unexpected places
