Rosh Hashanah is upon us -- soon we'll be hearing the sound of the shofar. |
Shalom!!!
It’s
hard to believe that more than half a year has passed since the
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) swept the globe and so drastically
changed our world.
But some things stay the same. Rosh Hashanah is still Rosh Hashanah, and we are still G-d’s children.
Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is the anniversary of the creation of
Adam and Eve, a day of judgment and coronation, and sounding of the
shofar . .. In short, it is the birthday of the universe, the day G‑d
created Adam and Eve, and it’s celebrated as the head of the Jewish
year.
I am praying that G-d grant us a “good and sweet year”.
Wishing you and yours a very healthy, happy, and sweet new year!
Shana Tova!!!

He said "volunteerism and passion to save our #Environment in this #NewNormal era is so alive!"
He said it was another proof that youth can lead and do so much for the community.
"Let's make it a habit to be part of the solution not the pollution," said Garsuta.
