A Blessed New Year


The High Holy Days really crept up on me this year.  Usually, for the occasion, I like to take a beautiful, inspiring photograph to encapsulate the awe-inspiring nature of the season.  But this year will have to settle for a beautiful, but simple, pink hibiscus flower.  Seize upon the beauty and lessons of the High Holy Days. Let an appreciation for the beauty found by looking outward stir careful reflection inward and let us reemerge into the world fundamentally changed, more compassionate and more aware.  L'Shanah Tovah! May peace and justice prevail in the streets of my hometown of Chicago, in Egypt, for the Syrian people, and throughout the world.  May we appreciate the uniqueness and dignity of all life and strive for the betterment of all.  May HaShem bless the entire world, no exceptions!
