Let’s Dress Up

In the good old days, such as they were, we were excited by the concept of “Casual Fridays”  where we slipped off the formal business attire and opted for a looser approach.  Ties came off, suits became sports jackets, slack became jeans.  Now, many of us are in sweatpants and a t-shirt as our daily attire.  Let’s change that and get dressed for work.

This Friday, pull out the “uniform” and dress for work, even if it is in front of a computer and without a Zoom or FaceTime connection.

 

It will make us feel better to get into that stiff formalwear that will somehow feel oddly comfortable.

Give it a try and join me for “Get Dressed for Work Day” May 1.

Shabbat Shalom

At Shabbat Dinner, we bless our children and spouses, wishing the best for them as they move forward through the challenges of life, ever so grateful for their presence in our life.

This Shabbat Alicia Keys soaring song Good Job offers such a blessing for those heroes among us.

Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat Shalom

Hanan Ben Ari shares this poignant song about our current situation.

Although we feel isolated and alone, remember that we are connected by our humanity.  We have the power to reach out to others and express the love and caring we feel.  This will sustain us until the day we can again embrace in each other’s arms.

Shabbat Shalom

Thank you to Ulpan La-Inyan for sharing this piece.

We figured we’d conquered it all
Towers in the heavens we built
Man, who needs man?
No other Flood will come in our day

We will never, ever fall
Leave it, we’ll be fine on our own
Smart, prepared and correct
And nothing is above us

Until you came
And infected
And crazed
And quarantined
And confused
And shocked
Who are you?

How you brought back sanity
Longing for human beings
The loneliness suddenly burns
We’re no longer flying from here to there
All the parks are locked
Weddings almost without people
We nearly lost ourselves
Almost stopped feeling

Soon all this will be over
And I request if possible
That the morning after you leave
We won’t go back to being the same
