    I want to wish everyone here of the Jewish faith a Happy New Year. May this be a good, sweet, healthy, successful year and may there be peace in the Middle East and everywhere else worldwide.

    Shanah Tovah u Metukah!

    This You Tube video shows some of the "Selihot" (prayers for forgiveness) which we recite in the synagogue during the High Holidays. Although I'm from Israeli of Ashkenazic Russian Jewish ancestry, I was educated in the Sephardic Jewish liturgy which my wife, and her family who are Israeli, but of Moroccan Jewish ancestry would follow. This video is typically Sephardic and I think the melody is so beautiful. Last year a friend of mine who's Greek wanted to come to the synagogue to hear the Rosh Hashanah service and I brought him with me. He was most fascinated.

    Happy new year to all of my Shave Den friends. The services were meaningful to me, and had me thinking about the shofar as it relates to time. In it, I saw past, present and future. The past is in the knowledge that it has been played for countless eons. It’s present was with all who had the privilege of playing one on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The future, for me, is the little girls who have seen women playing them, and now know that this joy is open to them.
