Dear Families, I truly believe that God has a sense of humor. Why else would the Jewish High Holy Days fall right at the start of school!?! In order to prepare for school, the office has been busy with class placements, hiring fabulous teachers and organizing manuals and books. In order to properly prepare for the High Holy Days, we are challenged to think about the changes in ourselves that we wish to encounter. The Hebrew month of Elul that precedes Rosh HaShanah is the perfect time to honestly evaluate ourselves and commit to better behavior. We ask ourselves, "What mistakes have I made? Whom have I hurt? How can I be better?" According to Jewish tradition, this month is the time where we are to resolve conflicts and improve our relationships with family members and friends, neighbors and fellow congregants. Only then can we enter the High Holy Days with a pure heart, filled with the best of intentions for a good new year. May each of us be blessed with a new year filled with good relationships, positive Jewish experiences in our school and congregation, love, joy and peace. See you on Sunday, September 12th! L'Shalom, Rabbi Joui Hessel, RJE Associate Rabbi, Director of Religious Education and Engagement
