Dear Ones,

As with last year’s message, in preparing for yontif services, I am pondering the question of this year's theme. I am struck by how difficult it is to nail down a theme with the constant barrage of changing circumstances, knowing that between the time that I write this and the time you read it, the sands will seem to have shifted once more.

So, let us show up. Let us meet. Let us convene. Commune. Be present for each other. Listen, contemplate and pray together. Open our minds. Open our eyes. Open our hearts. Remember. Forgive.

This year, let’s raise our voices, because each of us has a still, small voice which, when combined, makes a joyful, miraculous noise which has never been more needed in the world.

"The Universe is not ouside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are." 
~Rumi

We will find our voices and our way together throughout Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as we take stock of both the new year ahead and our personal journeys to reach our highest potential for the challenges we will face.

See you in shul,
Daniel Neiden, Cantor
