My first experience of dear Marcia was at a Friday night service at Princeton University. I attended the Fellowship in Prayer conference to explore and learn from "other paths to the Divine" and was invited to attend this incredible Shabbat experience.
My heart and soul were opened to the Divine in a new way. Prayers that I have sung for years took on a new meaning as I sang/chanted from my soul. Not needing the sidur, praying from my heart.
Dear Rabbi Marcia, you seemed to offer permission to pray as I have dreamed of praying. Letting go of traditional melodies and exploring vibrations with the universe. I thank you for opening the door to a new way of prayer. Must not have been an accident that we met again at Mussar Kallah in Chicago. Sharing the Saturday morning service with you was an honor and I was humbled beyond words.
May your journey continue to open the eyes of many, and continue to open the paths to your soul!
B'shalom,
Chaplain Bonnie Leopold
