Elul: Day 26

09/19/2025 11:45:48 AM

Sep19

I began this series of reflections on the month of Elul with words from liturgist and translator Marcia Falk.  It seems only appropriate to end with her words as well.  The closing of Elul is upon us, and with it, Rosh Hashanah arrives and we begin once more.

“We enter the gates, grateful
for the blessing of renewal.
 
Let us bless the flow of life
that revives us,
sustains us,
and brings us to this time.”

 

Beloved TBD community, I extend this blessing to each one of you.  In a world that too often shakes us to the core, placing twists and turns before us that we couldn’t have foreseen, some truths remain.  The gates of renewal that open to us, and the flow of life that embraces us, carrying us forward.  We eagerly anticipate being together over these most sacred days to come.

And before that starts, join us tonight at 6:30pm for a Family Service, filled with ruach, songs and a special story for the season!

 

Shabbat Shalom, and Shana Tovah u’Metukah,

Rabbi Rebecca Gutterman
