Next week we welcome the New Moon of Cancer and it brings with it an invitation inward, a month-long journey into the watery depths of our emotional life and its inherent intelligence. Emotions are data, but they are not facts which makes this month an interesting time for anyone who likes dichotomies and ironies. It is known as one of the negative months, rooted in din (the Hebrew word for law or judgment). As Rav Berg taught, sometimes the experience of judgment allows us to transform that negativity into mercy and positivity.
