High Holidays 5781/2020

As we head into the routine of life here is a wrap up of some of the messages we spoke about over the High Holidays.

Remember that G-d loves you more than a parent loves their only child.

We need to stick together — -

— together with community like the SEQUOIA trees intertwining their roots for the stability to anchor their towering trunks,

— together with G-d and realize its not a Google relationship, in which G-d watches what we do, rather a ZOOM relationship where we talk with each other,

— together over the Generations and honor our Jewish SOUL DNA by doing Jewish activity like the 2,000-year-old ancient dates that have recently fruited in Israel.

We must come together, not as we lose ourselves but as a Lulav and Etrog, noting our styles and differences, and still choosing to gather in a united communal bunch. We must see the others around us, respect them for who they are, lean close even when we disagree about the most important questions.

And finally — we need to dance because the future of Judaism is HIGH-ENERGY JUDAISM.

May this upcoming year be filled with overflowing blessings!
