Tishrei 1 5782, Rosh Hashanah

 Tishrei 1, 5782/September 7, 2021/Rosh Hashanah

Rabbi David N. Young

On behalf of the 18 rabbis who contributed to this year’s Elul Thoughts, I would like to thank you for reading with us every day this month. Teaching is an expression of love, and sharing our thoughts with you is a joy and an honor.


One way to express gratitude to someone who teaches us is to offer Tzedakah in their honor or to their organization. Some teachings suggest that starting the year with a gift of tzedakah is a way to guarantee a prosperous year. With that in mind, we encourage you to leave a donation for the discretionary fund of any or all of the rabbis who taught you something this past month. Every name below is linked to the appropriate synagogue for ease of giving.


We all wish you a shanah tovah umetukah, a happy and sweet 5782!
