High Holy Days

Dear Friends, 

As we approach this High Holy Day season, we are reminded of the profound joy and spirit that define our time together at Kol Tikvah. We also bear in mind the somber reality that Jewish life has changed profoundly since October 7th, reminding us of the fragility of life and the strength of our collective spirit. 

Our tradition teaches us that every journey eventually comes full circle, guiding us back to where we belong. Just as the Israelites, after years of wandering in the desert, finally returned to the land of Canaan, we too find our way back to the embrace of our spiritual home. Their return marked the culmination of a journey filled with trials and faith, ultimately leading to a renewed sense of belonging and purpose. Your return this High Holy Day season will do the same. 

We invite you to embrace these High Holy Days fully – participate, involve your loved ones, and share in the collective experience of renewal. 

Participation will rejuvenate your spirits and fortify your resolve to bring healing and hope to our world. We eagerly anticipate coming together with you in prayer and reflection. 

Let us unite once more and feel the loving embrace of Kol Tikvah. 

Shanah Tovah.

L’Shalom,

Rabbi Jon Hanish
