Message from the Rabbi
Parshat Bereishit
I am still basking in the glow of what turned out to be a most memorable Yom Tov season.  All the feedback has been most appreciated and I think it is quite clear how much work and preparation went in to making everything run smoothly and successfully. 
The question is then, what next? The kids are back at school, the Torah covers are back to their regular colors, the white Parochet has been put away and all the Machzorim have been properly categorized and shelved.  Now what?  Do we just start this cycle all over again?
The answer is simply - YES!
We are afforded the perspective of a penitent season to allow us to think introspectively about how we want to lead our Jewish lives. We can, in a manner of speaking, "Put our money where our mouths are."  We davened and atoned and committed to do better, and here we are with the immediate opportunity to do exactly that. 
Now is the time to make good on your spiritual commitments.  Come to a minyan, come to a class, join a committee.  The opportunities are there for the taking. It is now in your hands. 

"Bereishit Bara Elokim" - In the Beginning....  That is now.
