A Moment in Time: 5781 Can’t Come Soon Enough

[additional-authors]
September 18, 2020
Dear all,
As we approach the Jewish New Year of 5781, I think we can safely say that 5780 came with incredible challenges. I can’t think of another time I so eagerly anticipated a chance to recharge, renew, and re-imagine. Whatever your religion, spiritual path, or culture, you probably can use some refocus right now. So it’s really a Rosh HaShanah for all of us!
What will you do to make the New Year special and different?
What new class will you take?
What hobby will you deepen?
What book will you read?
What exercise will you do?
What prayer will you utter with more depth?
What community involvement will you cultivate?
What social cause will you embrace?
What organization will you financially support?
What moment in time will you capture so that you don’t miss out on life?
Ron, Maya, and Eli join me in wishing you and all you love a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year.
Shana Tova!
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
