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
