Celebrate Tolerance, Innovation and Entrepreneurs in November

In November, my husband and I celebrate our birthdays. This year we gifted each other books, new coloring books for me, and a non-fiction books about U.S. Presidents for John. 

Observe November 16 is The International Day for Tolerance. It began in 1995 by the United Nations to attempt to eradicate intolerance around the world. Clearly, our world needs more tolerance and and end to anti-semitism. 


November 19 is National Entrepreneurs’ Day which honors the spirit of entrepreneurship and the individuals who embody it. Please help support the local and small businesses in your area. It doesn't cost anything to share a social media post or image on Facebook or Instagram.  

Getting ready for Turkey?

Innovation - Movies

I recommend the movie entitled Breathe, an inspiring true love story between Robin and Diana Cavendish who designed movable wheelchairs with respirators for polio victims and other disabled people. (It's with Academy Award® nominee Andrew Garfield, Golden Globe® winner Claire Foy as an adventurous couple who refuse to give up in the face of a devastating disease. Watch how they, family members and doctors figured out a way for victims to get out of the hospital and enjoy life. It's inspiring. 

Saturday Night - If you want to laugh, this is a funny movie. I've been streaming old SNL Episodes and have discovered the comedy of Kate McKinnon as an alien abductee and Keenan Thompson as a movie critic. 


Thankful
This year I am grateful to be a non-smoker since March. 

Tell me below what you are thankful for.

What is Sukkot?

Sukkot is the holiday of celebrating the harvest. It's the last of the Shalosh Regalim (three pilgrimage festivals). 

The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holiday in memory of the period of wandering (forty-year period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters). 


Agriculturally, Sukkot is a harvest festival and is sometimes referred to as Chag Ha-Asif, the Festival of Ingathering. 


Services play an important role in the communal celebration of Sukkot. There are special festival readings, including Psalms of Praise (Hallel) and Hoshana. During the Hoshana prayers, congregants march around the synagogue sanctuary holding the lulav and etrog. The seventh and last day of the festival is called Hoshanah Rabba, the “Great Hoshana.”

High Holidays: Living with the Bitter and the Sweet

Shana Tovah! 

The days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur are filled with introspection, and spiritual renewal.

I had written a different email to send out, but words from my rabbis (from Romemu Synagogue) on Rosh HaShanah blew me away, and I'd like to share some with you. Note that any misinterpretation or errors are on my part and not theirs.

Since Oct. 7, we're caught in between celebrating the New Year with joy and the horrible atrocities happening in Israel and around the world. "We realize how precious, short, and fragile life truly is; and that it could be over in an instant." 

Rabbi Dianne suggested we pay attention to the story of Abraham and Isaac in the Akedah and the different names for G-d. At first, G-d is called "Ha Elohim" commanding strict judgment. Later, "Adonai YHVY" or compassion is used. We must listen closely for the (the angel's ) softer voice telling Abraham to stop and not kill Isaac. After this Abraham and Isaac don't speak again.It shatters the family, and Sarah dies soon after. 

Holiday Aprons


Jewish liturgy links the ram’s horn (shofar) blown on Rosh Hashanah to the ram that Abraham offered in place of Isaac and sees the sounding of the shofar as a way to remind God of Abraham’s total obedience and to pardon Abraham’s descendants on the basis of his great merit. 

Do we choose to listen to the harsh voices of judgments of political leaders and celebrities that divide us or listen to the still, small voice of Adonai? Years ago, I learned about the need to be quiet and listen to G-d's still, small voice instead of yelling at each other and often I forget (my thought). 

Rabbi David suggests we become unified "Am Yisrael B'yachad" to be together and focus on something bigger that unites us. We were invited to imagine the shofar as a narrow constricting place of the tunnels of Gaza, where our people are being held against their will. We were invited to blow air into that space, to fill it up to set them free. My lungs are tired from blowing my air. I hope that you'll join me in blowing air into that narrow space to bring our hostages home (if only it were that easy).

Breast Cancer 


I'm grateful for my 9th year as a breast cancer survivor. 

Sukkot starts Oct. 16



My heart is heavy for all the tsuris that Israelis and Americans are facing daily. I pray that G-d gives us all strength and courage for the New Year. 

As Jews, we're already used to experiencing "both the honey and the sting" simultaneously.

I pray that, in the New Year, the sting lessens and that the honey spreads over our lives with joy, peace, health, and prosperity. 

May we all be written and sealed in the book of Life in 5785 and may G-d give us all peace, strength, and courage to live our lives as fully as we can. 

I pray that we are all written and sealed in the Book of Life. Good Yom Tov! ✡️

Rosh HaShanah Shana Tovah

Selichot is only days away. I am grateful to HaShem for my life and for letting me use my creativity in a way that helps people. 


One of the symbolic foods for Jewish New Year is Pomegranates that symbolize our wish to have a year full of mitzvot and good deeds (the many seeds 613, like the mitzvot).



Shana tovah um'tukah - happy and sweet new year. May you be blessed with health, joy and happiness. 

Happy 5785.
