A Year of Gratitude: Shana Tova U’Metuka

[additional-authors]
September 24, 2014

By Rabbi Mark Borovitz

As we approach this new year of 5775, I am grateful to everyone who, over this past year and years, has helped me on my journey with words and acts of loving-kindness. These have taken the form of encouragement, kudos, criticisms, and rebukes. All have helped me become the spirit/soul/person I am today.

I am also grateful to the thousands of people who have crossed the threshold of Beit T’Shuvah, most of whom are living lives of purpose, passion and joy! I thank the people who support our effort to help everyone whether they have money or not. I am grateful to our staff for their tireless work to save lives and souls. I am grateful to our Board for their support and guidance in leading Beit T’Shuvah to be a place of recovery that is known for excellence around the United States and beyond.

This year I invite you to be more invested in your spiritual life so that you live with more joy, integrity and peace. I invite you to speak to any of our 11 Spiritual Counselors and explore your inner self so you live in concert with yourself; so your inner and outer match. I invite you to be part of our Elaine Breslow Addiction Institute, part of our Congregation, part of our Youth Services, part of our Creative Matters Design Agency, part of our Thrift Store, part of our Music, Theater, and Art departments. In other words, WE WANT YOU, WE BELONG TO AND WITH YOU!

Shana Tova U'Metuka— A Good, Sweet year to everyone. May we all recognize God's Blessings to and for us in this coming year.

Instead of correcting some of the hyperbolic anti-Israel “reporting” that has so blurred people’s capacity to know what is going on, he pours fuel on the flames of ignorance and perpetuates a rhetoric that lays blame for the whole conflict primarily or solely on Israel.
