RABBI MESSAGE

Dear Friends,
We enter the holiest time of our year with varied thoughts of our lives and how we live 
them. Our tradition directs us to contemplate, primarily, the human side of our experience. We think of how we treat the members of our families, the members of our 
communities, and the members of our human family. By extension, we also ponder the ways in which we relate to the world as well. May we learn to struggle, sometimes quite deeply, with the growth and change that is required of us to help bring peace to our planet...even in a very small way here in our corner of the world. May the new year be one of harmony and joy for us all.

Shanah Tovah,
Rabbi Michael Oblath
