49-Days: Cleansing in a Time of War
On collective liberation and cleansing as an ancient tool for surviving rupture. From Passover to Shavuot, the 49 days of the Omer invite us into a daily practice of clearing—physically, emotionally, ethically—at a time when war is destabilizing bodies, communities, and food systems across the region. As hunger deepens for Palestinians, Lebanese, and others whose access to food has been systematically destroyed, and as Jews navigate both missiles and soaring antisemitism, the call of the Haggadah—“let all who are hungry come and eat”—lands with urgency. Cleansing is not about purity, punishment, or abstentia; it is about responsibility. A return to the body as a site of alignment, a practice of conscious consumption, and a commitment to show up with clarity in a world that demands it. Do you want recipes, herbal remedies, and accountability? Let’s Cleanse, #fromsoil2soul.
