In religious services, we hear the stentorian blast of a shofar [ram\u2019s horn], triggering a period of introspection, examining the past year while looking forward to improvement in the year ahead. There are, of course, family dinners that customarily feature a number of traditional foods, like honey [for a sweet year]. It is very different from the kind of festivities and partying that mark the secular transition from December 31 to January 1.<\/p>\n<p>It is my hope that 5779 will be marked by peace, good health, by personal and professional growth and may it also be a year of inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Our offices will be closed on Monday and Tuesday (September 10 and 11) and closed again the following Wednesday (September 19) to observe the holy days.<\/p>\n<p>\u05e9\u05e0\u05d4 \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05d4 \u05d5\u05de\u05ea\u05d5\u05e7\u05d4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many, Labour Day weekend marks the end of one year and the start of another.
