Art as a spiritual practice. Creation as healing
My art is not just about what you see—it’s about what you feel.
I paint using watercolor, acrylic, and neurographic techniques to explore emotion, connection, and inner healing.
Neurographic art, in particular, helps transform subconscious thought into something visual and freeing. It’s a way of bringing the inner world into light and giving it form—with compassion, without judgment.
I often paint candles and flames—symbols of the soul, Shabbat, and the journey from darkness to light.

Finding My Voice: A Writer’s Journey
By Mindy Morasha Rubenstein I began this journey as a writer before I knew exactly what I was writing about. I was the “lost child” in my family, growing up in chaos, and I didn’t know how to rescue others — but I did know I had a voice. I would later discover that writing…

Yom Kippur: Science & Spirit
higher purpose Yom Kippur is called the holiest day of the year. But what does holy really mean? In Hebrew, the word is קֹדֶשׁ (kodesh), from the root קדש which means “set apart.” Something holy is separated from the ordinary so it can be dedicated to a higher purpose.

Rosh Hashanah Is Not the Real New Year
Here in Eretz Yisrael, as the heavy heat of summer finally eases, you can feel the season shifting. The nights cool, the air softens, and the earth prepares for rain. Grapes and figs have been harvested, the balance of the equinox arrives, and a new moon rises in the autumn sky. This is not the…
Reframing Rosh Hashanah: From Judgment to Renewal
For women in recovery, the language of guilt and judgment is familiar — and often toxic. But real healing doesn’t come from shame. It comes from connecting with a Higher Power and living from our higher self. That’s the essence of recovery, and it can also be the essence of this season if we choose…
