Elul Reflection - 8.19.23 - Bobby Kaplan/Josh Mantel

Rosh Hashanah, for me, is the New Beginning. It is a very happy occasion, and it brings our personal family, as well as the Temple Chai family together. It starts a 10-day period of introspection and repentance that culminates in Yom Kippur. This period of time allows for reflection and beginning a new chapter in our lives.

As we move to the New Year I would like to share a quote: 
“May Light always surround you; 
Hope kindle and rebound you. 
May your Hurts turn to Healing; 
Your Heart embrace Feeling. 
May Wounds become Wisdom; 
Every Kindness a Prism. 
May Laughter infect you; 
Your Passion resurrect you. 
May Goodness inspire 
your Deepest Desires. 
Through all that you Reach For, 
May your arms Never Tire.” 
- D. Simone
