Wishes for A Sweet and Peaceful Year Ahead: Rosh Hashanah 5785

Posted on by

It is once again time to think back on the last year and forward to the next. I am hoping that you all have had a good year personally even though it has been a very difficult year for the world.

There has been so much tragedy this year—some caused by our fellow human beings, some by natural forces. Watching the devastation here and across the world and fearing that our planet will be destroyed by war, floods, earthquakes, drought, and hatred is heartbreaking and horrifying. Sometimes it does all feel hopeless. If you live any place ravaged by war or in the path of any of the natural disasters, I hope you are safe and that life improves in the coming year.

I hold on to hope because I still believe that we humans are capable of creating a world that is filled with love, not hate, good, not evil, peace, not war. If we at least each make it true for ourselves in our own relationships and our own lives, maybe it will spread.

Shanah tova! May it be a year of peace, love, and good health for everyone across our world.
