May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so this month’s PAUSE episode is a special invitation for those who may be struggling – and for those who love them. Shabbat is more than a day of the week, it’s a state of being.

Take the Pause You Need draws on wisdom from the animal kingdom and features a spoken word love note written for those who may want to re-emerge slowly. The poem is by award-winning poet, Charly Jaffe, set to illustrations by Heather Schieder and music by Broadway’s Andrew Resnick.
