Dear all,
Earlier this week during our Akiba High School program, our 9th graders dropped their phones, their gadgets, and their headsets, and they ran outside to take in this beautiful smile from Heaven.
I’m always amazed how for thousands and thousands of years, a rainbow continues to have the same effect on our hearts. They will certainly be around long after the latest iteration of the iphone!
How cool that this happened on the cusp of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year?! It’s a time we take inventory of the eternal spark in our finite lives. And it’s an opportunity to take a moment in time to harness awe.
As we celebrate this anniversary of the completion of creation, we hope that the rainbow, the symbol of peace, rests on your homes, in your hearts, and in your relationships.
Ron, Maya, Eli, and I will you a Shana Tova, a year of goodness!
With love and Shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
