Rosh Hashana is a time for significant initiatives. As such, it is an opportunity for us to recreate ourselves, to return to a relationship with God, to strengthen our ties to our faith..
Bear this in mind: the all-embracing theme of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is "change:" to change from what we were before and to become new individuals
Shana Tova !
