This evening marks the start of Rosh Hashana, the start of the Jewish calendar year 5770.
It is a period quite different from the partying that characterizes New Year’s Eve – December 31. Instead, a stentorian blast of the shofar [ram’s horn] heralds a time of introspection, examining the deeds of the past year and looking forward to a year of improvement ahead.
It has been my intent in writing the content for this blog to challenge my readers to examine issues from a different perspective. In doing so, if I have insulted or hurt through my words, I am sorry; allow me to express my regret.
I hope that the year ahead is one filled with good health, with inspiration and peace.
