Head First
tshrei. The first month of the Jewish new year. A month that is not just the beginning
-,
ofa new calendar, but the "head" and nerve center, setting the pace for the entire year.
Head First.
A month of beginnings. A month in which an act, a thought, a resolve, is that much more
effective. A month of reassessment of our objectives and priorities in life —our own lives,
our families, friends and community.
And it is in this spirit that the festivals of this month are celebrated. On 7 ) . sh 1-faShanah_,
and Tom' Kippur we renew our acceptance of G-d Almighty's authority and our respon-
sibility to make this world a better place.A time for sober self-appraisal and the firm re-
solve to improve our lives. A time to intensify the study and observance of the Torah
and its Commandments.
But our accomplishments of 7)s1) liaShanalb and Tont) Kippur come to fruition on
the festival of Sukkot: What we achieved then in somberness,we celebrate on ,S)ukkot"
through joy.
Introspection leads to elation, solemnity to joy, climaxing in a celebration in song and
dance of that very special relationship between man and G-d we call life.
Tishrei. The month in which the awe of Rosh 1-faShanah_,,the fast andprayer of Tom, Kippur,
and the joy ofSukkot- meld into a harmonious renewal out of which the new year is born.
May this month bring blessings of a happy, healthy and sweet year for everyone
