Renewal will come. As the calendar turns, and my thoughts turn to the annual rhythms of the holidays, I feel deeply how off-beat everything is now. But I have hope and know that the next moment is not this moment, renewal will come, and we will return again. L’shanna tovah!

Does brisket come that small? A whole kugel for 3? And what about the cakes? So much leftover to pick at, little by little.  Maybe this year it’s a different menu, honoring the planet, respecting our bodies as well as tradition. Acknowledging a different year. Still, apples and sweet honey.

Rosh Hashanah family picnic; eating outdoors like Sukkot, but a big backyard instead of a small booth. Brisket sandwiches, potato salad, a circular Challah made from scratch. Singing along with the service while "muted", but we hear birds singing as the backup choir. And...100 fewer usher positions to fill!

I love the Jewish cycles of the year. As I approach the Jewish New Year, I fully realize my humanness which acknowledges and accepts how I have at times deviated from my true self..........and that I have another opportunity to grow, to strive, and to transform. I use the practice of Hitbodedut to regularly go to a quiet place to talk with God, to be genuinely vulnerable, to challenge myself to be the best version of myself.
