September 5, 2018

September 5, 2018 by Justin Deutsch

With the blasting of the shofar, we launch our Season of Penitence. Like an annual alarm clock, the shofar calls us to wake up to see the world through the lens of spiritual renewal and personal growth.

This spiritual season is a time for honesty and vulnerability, a time for introspection and reflection, a time for rectification and healing. May our worship together in the days ahead and our celebrations with family and friends be a spiritual prelude for a process of renewal and blessings as we greet 5779 with a blast.

Shanah Tovah,

Steve
