i just wanted to say that this was a lovely, moving post/sermon, and i only wish the rabbi’s sermon that i heard on erev rosh hashanah (half-way across the country, in manhattan) had been half as eloquent or powerful.

shana tovah.

These words need to be said often, so that together we do not lose hope in the effectiveness of our actions.

Coincidentally, our family theme for this year is also “coming home,” as Vladimir and I look forward to ending our exile in Los Angeles and returning to Chicago by the next Rosh Hashanah, where we hope to rejoin JRC in its new home.

L’shanah tovah!
