We are approaching the High Holydays and I am very busy preparing for the Yamin Noraim, the Days of Awe. The Rabbis wanted us to search for God’s Presence these weeks. God is the awe inspiring source of our spiritual being. As I prepare I am hopeful that Rabbi Priesand and I will touch your souls and help our congregation witness the power of being part of K’lal Yisrael, the People of Israel. On Rosh Hashana when we see our community come together let us remember the beauty of
our tradition and the benefit of sharing that tradition with the members of Temple Shirat Shalom.
