Now, we have to raise another $50,000 by September 30 in order to be eligible for special funding from a number of foundations who have been supporting us. Please stay tuned for season announcements and up-to-the-minute news.
This would be a perfect time to recite the shehechianu, the prayer that simply expresses gratitude to the creative power of the universe for bringing us to this moment.
Baruch ata, Ya*, melech/malcha** haolam,
Shehechiyanu v'kimanu v'higiyanu lazman hazeh
Blessed are You Source of Being,
who has given us life, sustained us,
and allowed us to reach this day, this moment.

* I’ve changed the traditional adonai eloheinu to Ya. Adonai eloheinu – “the Lord our God” – is, itself, a euphemism for the “unpronounceable name of God.” Ya is simply another stand-in for the ineffable that has less patriarchal associations than “Lord.”
** melech = King; malcha = Queen
