What is your personal connection to the Moon? Does the Moon ever symbolize something for you? Does tracking its cycles take you back to a more organic relationship to time?
Have you watched a solar or lunar eclipse? Stayed up in the wee hours to watch the “Blood Moon“ (red moon at a full lunar eclipse) or other celestial wonders with your naked eye or a telescope? Did you watch with others and what was that experience like for you?
Do you ever celebrate Rosh Hodesh, the New Moon, or Kiddush Levanah, blessing the waxing moon? Please share what that’s like for you and your community.
Please look up tonight for the Moon and then share your reflections on what it means to you.

A few years ago, there was a “Blood Moon” (red moon at a lunar eclipse) on the first night of Passover, so I stayed up until the middle of the night to watch it from my back patio in California. It was beautiful and dramatic, and made me feel tied to my ancestors making the Exodus on this “watch night.” Have you ever stayed up to watch a lunar eclipse, and what was your experience?
