A Moment in Time: God, are You listening? Zach, are YOU???

[additional-authors]
September 2, 2021

Dear all,

I had a chance to call God today. With the Holy Days approaching, I had a number of pressing questions:

”Why do bad things happen to good people?”
”Do you hear me when I pray?”

There were many more. I would imagine many who are reading have had similar questions.

And while I am eager to hear the answers, I know that come Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, God will be calling out to me: “Zach, are YOU listening?”

The Jewish New Year gives us a collective moment in time to stop, really stop, and listen!

Are we ready to hear the call?

Ron, Maya, Eli, and I wish you and all you love a healthy, happy, and meaningful New Year!

Shana Tova!

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
