Resources for the soul

Vicki Hollander

Rabbi Vicki Hollander is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and currently serving Congregation Sharreth Israel in Lubbock, Texas.

Welcome

This is a foray to reach out to like minded travelers.
To share resources soulfully crafted.

For over 23 years I've been creating prayer-poems and rituals, drawing sustenance from them, watching to see if they transcend time, and polishing them to intensify their beauty.

When I was a child my grandmother from Eastern Europe covered her couches with plastic so they would be kept like new. I still remember sticking to the couch in the heat of the summer and that crunching sound when sitting down.

It's time to 'take off the plastic' from these prayers, poems, and rituals. It's time for these to be in the world. To be used.

My hope?

That these will offer you support when you need a little more.

Striving to create lives of integrity, meaning and beauty while emerging as who we truly are takes a lot of steam.

I hope these resources will aid you replenish so that you can shed a little more light into this world.
And I hope you'll return to fill up as needed.

May these works touch you, ease your heart, open your soul.

Blessings, goodness, and life to you,

Vicki
