Temple

Letter from Rabbi Ross

Dear TBS Friends & Family,

We had three wonderful Rosh Hashanah celebrations this week: Sunday’s Family Service and Dinner, Monday’s Evening Service, and Tuesday’s Morning Service. The turnout for these three holiday events topped 200 people!
We have Shabbat at home this week. This Shabbat is called Shabbat Shuvah, the Shabbat of returning to holiness. My practice on Shabbat Shuvah, is after working on self and relationships, I look at my relationship with Israel and Israelis this year. We will look at this issue carefully at Kol Nidre next Wednesday evening.
I have been challenged spiritually to make sense of the recent events in Israel and Gaza and the idea of fighting a just war justly. I have supported the IDF as they tried to uproot the evil of Hamas. I hold both Hamas and the IDF responsible for the famine in Gaza. Starvation and dire humanitarian issues are present for so many Palestinian children this year. On Wednesday, the Second Day of Rosh Hashanah, as I heard the line from the Unatana Tokef prayer: “Who will live and who die, who by famine and who by drought..,” I broke down and sobbed.
May our tears lead us to a true sense of returning and repentance this year.
Please join us for Tashlich this Sunday at 11 am, as we cast off our sins. At 1pm is our annual Cemetery Service.

THANK YOU!
