Happy 5779!

Shanah Tovah u'Metukah - 

Happy, Healthy, and Sweet New Year!

At this season of renewal, introspection, and hope, may we all be blessed with:

Happiness - A year of joy. A year of freedom for all who are enslaved; blessed to share their joy with their loved ones. 

Health - A year of security. A future in which we know we are ALL cared for, protected, and nurtured. In which our health is mirrored in the health of our planet, the birth day of which is celebrated on Rosh Hashanah.

Sweetness - A year of goodness and compassion. A new beginning to feel invigorated, energized, and empowered; free from numbness or lethargy, poised to make meaningful change in the world and speak up for ourselves and all those around us whose voices are not heard.

Newness - A year of change and optimism. A fresh start, a clean slate, an open book. A chance to make a difference in our own lives, the lives of those around us, and in our entire world. The ability to truly open our eyes, and see things in a new light and with new possibilities.

Whatever you are bringing from the past year(s), and however you are entering the season ahead, may you be blessed and may you bring blessing upon yourself.

****
May we all live with honesty, integrity, great empathy, openness, vulnerability, humor, and satisfaction.

And may it truly be a Shanah Tovah u'Metukah. 

Warmest regards,

Rabbi Gerber
