On behalf of Cantor Glassman and myself, I would like to wish you shanah tovah u’metukah (a sweet and happy new year). As your new clergy, we are honored to lead a worship service that is filled with awe, beauty, and reflection. It is wonderful to see that a large portion of our congregation will be joining us as we celebrate in person. For those of you who will be with us on Live Stream, your presence will be felt as well.
Coming back together is a sacred experience. The joy of voices together brings great healing to my heart. Community helps me to connect to the divine. This year we will have the Torah service and sermons included in the main services. Cantor Glassman will be supported by a professional quartet and accompanists. The music will be beautiful, powerful, and comforting. My sermons will focus on how individually and together we can grow and use this time of year to improve our lives.
I look forward to praying with you, and together entering God’s sanctuary, as we bring in the new year, 5783. May it be a year filled with blessings, health, and happiness. If you have the opportunity, please introduce (or reintroduce) yourself to me. It is an honor to be your rabbi and part of this sacred temple community.
May you be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life,
Rabbi Jesse
