Rabbi's Blog:
From last October to this October, it has been a year. As we welcomed in Rosh Hashanah 5784, no one knew what the future would hold for the Jewish people. Yet, we were hardly into that year when on Simchat Torah - October 7th - war began when Hamas murdered 1,200 people, took more than 200 hostage, and injured many more. War in the Middle East and rising antisemitism in America and around the world has been painful and disorienting.
