Greetings!
As we approach Rosh Hashana, a high holiday season, and a new year - I want to encourage you and everyone in our community to think ahead.
This is an opportunity to think, not just about what you are going to do in the next year, but what you are going to do differently.
To be open to others - receiving help and offering help…both when asked and not.
To recognize that saying less is sometimes more, and a kind word goes a long way.
To appreciate that we share our space - whether our homes, our communities, or our planet - with others...who are often different than us; we should model respect and empathy.
And to come together more as a community and as a family, in person and even when we’re apart.
We all know the Yiddish saying that translates to: We plan and God laughs. While we need to recognize that there are many things beyond our control, some things in our control is how we prepare, how we respond, how we comfort and uplift others, and how we keep our heads held high.
The Jewish Federation is here to help with all of this - and we thank you for your help and support.
Thank you. Here’s to a healthy and fulfilling year to all. L’shana tova. And Shabbat shalom.
