It was exceedingly special in so many ways being back at FPS. Please see this clip that includes Alex Kinchin-Smith’s words about being in the building and our part in it.
These ten days are opportunities to reflect and connect. We are told not to arrive at synagogue for prayer until we’ve connected with those in our lives where there’s friction and fracture. That’s not always easy but it’s an interesting challenge. These days are heightened emotionally: use this time wisely. I try, and don’t always succeed, every year. But what I do manage is to love these days and this season, a time where introspection isn’t just accepted; it’s encouraged.
See you over Shabbat Shuvah (the Shabbat of return or repentance). If you prefer nature to shul, come for Tashlich walk at Dollis Brook and let me know via Caroline () you’re joining.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rebecca
