As we join together as a community at this time of introspection and devotion, we are humbled by one another. Tradition tells us to sound the Shofar, calling us to a sacred assembly: to be awakened by its sharp, still voice and turn ourselves anew.
We stand here today: one community, one people, to turn our ways. Returning to goodness and hope, love and justice. We begin this year anew, refreshed and awakened, reminded of our sacred task: “do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8).
Let the moments we experience now help move our minds and hearts towards ourselves, our lives and to one another. May we reach inward and strive for the best within us, and make this year 5774 a sweet and good year for us.
L’shanah tovah tikateivu v’techateimu:
May you be inscribed and sealed for a good and sweet New Year.”
(Sean Samitt, 2013)
