The New Year, 5771, begins with the arrival of Rosh HaShanah, next Wednesday evening, September 8. It is a time of reflection and renewal – filled with the possibility of new beginnings. As we look back on the year gone by and ahead to the one just beginning, we have the chance to evaluate what we’ve done, where we’ve been, and who we yet hope to be. It is our chance to establish new goals, to articulate bigger dreams and visions, and make resolutions for what we hope to accomplish.
With a week remaining before the Holy Days begin, I encourage you to make time for intentional, chesbon ha-nefesh (thoughtful self-examination) – to guide your preparation to enter the New Year. After you’ve had a chance to consider and imagine – let me know about your New Year’s resolution(s) for 5771.
Wishing you a shanah tovah u’metukah – a happy and sweet New Year!
