A Message from Our Rabbi
September 22, 2021

Come together,
Gather yourself together,
Pull yourself together, at the turning of the year,
As one year ends and the next begins.
Gather up,
Reflect on your work, the accomplishments and the failures,
Everything you did in the field, in the world where you labor,
Where you think and act,
Where you struggle and celebrate,
Where you live,
And appear before God.
Come with full hands, an active mind, a heart overflowing with thanks
At this Festival of Gathering.
A festival to gather what I did accomplish, how I was successful
Whatever I managed to do,
And celebrate the work of my hands, and my heart.
This is Z’man Simchateinu, Season of our Rejoicing.
Let us give thanks with joy.
—Rabbi Debra Robbins
