We Have been Here Before: Spiritual Wisdom for Enduring Covid-19
Description
And that Moses, brother of Miriam, a leader of our people, cried out to the Healer of All. Moses’ prayer – brief but heartfelt and heart wrenching – says it all: El na r’fa na la. Please God please heal her (Numbers 12:13). Asking for healing, Moses twice beseeches the Holy One, doubling the word “na” (please) to emphasize the intensity of his desire. We imagine Moses falling down on his knees, worried, fearful, bent low by the twin burdens of keeping his community safe and seeking healing for his beloved sister and partner in leadership. And like him, we pray now: El na r’fa na lanu. Please God please heal us.
