About me
Welcome and thank you for visiting! I’m Naomi – a mother, writer, creative soul, and avid reader. I aim to share my thoughts and ideas to inspire positive change that will help you live an authentic and caring life.
Poetic Aperture is for me and for you. I often write just to process the swirling activity inside, but I also hope to inspire COMPASSION, COURAGE, and WONDER in you and support you on your journey of elevating the everyday.
I am a rabbinical student at the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. I am fortunate to have an amazing 15-year-old daughter and a supportive husband of 22 years.

Wishing you the best
Walking to school yesterday morning, I looked up at the sky and could hardly believe how resplendent it seemed. I realized that I don’t look up nearly enough. Looking down at my phone’s calendar and to-do lists isn’t nearly as fulfilling. Since … Continue reading
