Happy new year my friends. Tonight starts Rosh Hashona.. one of the two most important days in the Jewish calendar.. its the end of the old year and the start of the next. Its a time of new beginning. Im about as secular as a jew can get..but these two days.. rosh hashona now.. and yom kippur in 10 days are powerful reminders to me about the possibility of the future and the responsibility of the past.
Its a time of amazing possibility..its the head of the year..
A first !
And as we wanders are fond of saying at firsts
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה , אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֶחֱיָֽינוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמָן הַזֶּה
Baruch Ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Haolam, shehechiyanu, v’kiy’manu, v’higianu lazman hazeh.
Blessed are You Eternal Spirit who has given us life, sustained us and allowed us to arrive in this moment
And even for those of us who are only with us in spirit at this moment..
Cani get an ‘amen’ ?,
Shana tova to you all
And may you be inscribed in the booj of life..
And lets make it an intersting book..shall we ?
Nite all, nite sam
