Poetry
Goral
bound
for altar
or cliff
I’m at the mercy
of You
and Your lots
Kapparos
after swinging
the briefly orbiting object
stops to be
eaten or spent
realize that things don’t always revolve
around you
and resolve the universes
between you
and Him

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.
If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.
Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
