There are many lessons to be learned by all of the parties involved: government leaders, bureaucrats and public-interest groups that are supposed to be our first lines of defense. It was particularly gratifying to see the support for my work openly displayed by <a href=\"https:\/\/mhgoldberg.com\/blog\/?p=16635\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a diverse coalition of colleagues<\/a> from across the competitive spectrum. In the coming year, we will be certain to explore ways to improve processes and renew education and sensitivities on these important issues.<\/p>\n<p>As it happens, through the weekend, I came across one of those motivational graphics that adorn various social media pages that seemed to resonate with me: &#8220;Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.&#8221; I hope the coming year continues to provide opportunities to speak out on things that matter. I encourage you to find your voices to join me.<\/p>\n<p>As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, I am approaching the coming year with renewed optimism. I have been able to travel to visit family who are overseas, and those on the other side of the continent, as well as host visitors &#8211; selectively. The past year enabled my wife and I to spend time with our grandkids, including getting to meet our granddaughter after 15 months of knowing her only by daily video chats. I <a href=\"https:\/\/mhgoldberg.com\/blog\/?p=15697\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote about the power of virtual presence<\/a>, but let me reiterate, as good a substitute as video may be, it\u2019s nothing like the physical reality of touching, holding and hugging.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you read this, I will be watching a third year of live-streamed synagogue services, not yet ready on a personal level to crowd into a sanctuary for 4 hours. Still, there is a greater feeling of optimism as we continue along a path toward normalcy. I am looking forward to a year filled with more opportunities to hold and hug all of my little ones.<\/p>\n<p>May the coming year be marked by good health, by personal and professional growth, and may it be a year of peace for all of us. <\/p>\n<div align=center>\u05dc\u05e9\u05e0\u05d4 \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05d4 \u05ea\u05db\u05ea\u05d1\u05d5 \u05d5\u05ea\u05d7\u05ea\u05de\u05d5<br \/>\n<small><em>May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosh Hashana, the two-day holiday marking the Jewish New Year, begins Sunday evening, September 25, marking the start of the year 5783.
