(I originally posted this a post in HOL but it applies to all my friends (and enemies 
) in AW
In less than 10 days the Jewish New Year is going to begin - Rosh HaShanah a two day holiday.
This is followed 10 days later by Yom Kippur (the holiest day of the year and a fast day.)
Jewish tradition has it that on Rosh HaShanah the world was created. There is also the belief that it is a time when the whole world stands before the throne of God in answer for the deeds of the past year.
The purpose of these holidays is for introspection and repentence. One of the basic laws of repentence in Judaism, the process of "Teshuvah" is divided into two main parts. Sins between man and man and sins between man and God.
The law further states that one cannot come and request forgiveness from God on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur before that person requests forgiveness and repents for any bad deeds done to his fellow man.
Therefore, in all seriousness, as the days of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur approach, I am sorry for any unkind words I may have said to anyone here, or for any remarks that may have been construed and hurt anyone here. If I have hurt anyone here, I truly ask for your forgiveness and hope never to do so again. I want you all to know you are a great bunch of people and proud to call you my friends.
At the festive Rosh HaShanah meals we dip our bread (Chalah) in Honey to remind us of the sweet New Year that awaits us, as we are sure that all our sins will be forgiven and our year will be one of great accomplishments.
And I am going to take this time to wish you all and your families and your loved ones as we wish each other in Synagogue
May You have a wonderful year, filled with the sweetness of honey, filled with the blessings of health, prosperity and peace. May you see your dreams in writing and in life all come true during this coming year. May you, your families and all the rest of the world be inscribed in the book of Life and may all the wishes of your heart be answered for the good..
And may at the end of Yom Kippur when night falls, and the rams horn is blown that one long time - mark a new period for all of us...of dreams fulfilled, of love given and of happiness and wonder in all that we do.
Shana Tova Tichatev Ve'Techatem LeAlter Chaim Tovim U'LeShalom
Have a Wonderful New Year May your names be written and inscribed in the book of life For a Year of Good Life and a year of peace.
