POEM: ‘Shabbat’
this morning
i am
at rest
hidden
beneath
a prayer
shawl
draped
over my
head
i am
chanting
your
name
the un
pronounceable
one
something
indistinct
whispering
through
my lips
ruach
the breath
you
gave me
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
