As Karen looks ahead to the new year, she’s taken some time to think about how she’s going to live her best Jewish life in 2023. To focus her reflections, she’s come up with a list of 10 journaling prompts that helped her drill down to her one-word intention for the new year. Whether you’d like to learn a little more about Karen’s experience over the past year as she’s worked through her grief following her beloved mother’s death, moved into a new home, and launched the Jewish Joy Journal - as well as her hopes for 2023 - or you’re looking for some guidance on how to set yourself up for your best year ever, this episode is a must-listen!     10 Journal Prompts for New Year Reflection:     1.
