September 12, 2018 by HCRJ Web Admin

Dear Friends,

This Friday night is Shabbat Shuvah, the Sabbath between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The name is derived from the opening word of the haftarah reading that urges us: Shuvah Yisrael “Return, O Israel, to the Eternal your God.”

What does that mean for each of us? To whom or what might we be returning? Is it to a sense of goodness? Is it to a sense of being loved? Is it to a connection with those from whom we have strayed? Is it to God?

Join us on Friday Night, September 14, for a Sabbath experience that harkens us to this prophetic calling.

L’Shalom-Steve
