High Holiday Greetings | Meeting Our Jewish Community’s Challenges
Rosh Hashanah offers a precious opportunity to reflect on the year we’ve lived, a chance to recognize and give sincere thanks for the blessings we’ve received. The new year is also a moment to look honestly at our failures and to ask ourselves how we might do better in the future. It’s a time to ask: Who among us is struggling?
