I feel that. I'm managing to find some spaces, thankfully, but it can be hard. I walk out when we do a prayer for Israel, which ironically means I also miss the prayer for the community, and that feels a bit too representative of the situation right now...

A black and white cat leans on top of a prayer book I was trying to practice leading a service from. He places his paw firmly on my hand and looks straight at the camera in disapproval.

I'm just saying that I can imagine the journey back from Mount Moriah and Yitzhak having to figure out how to speak to his father again a bit too clearly

Me: I sure have a lot of feelings about politics, justice, mercy, fathers making poor choices, and being a first born child who has left the family. Would hate to have to process all of them in a short time

Of course Act II of that story is that they excommunicate the guy on whose side God chimes in, and then there’s an involuntary opposite & decidedly unequal divine reaction to his grief where he shoots fire from his eyes, & oh, INCIDENTALLY, causes a worldwide famine when that causes crop failures.
