FROM THE DESK OF PRESIDENT ROBERT FISHMAN
In the month of Elul and through the month of Tishrei, we recite the 27th Psalm each day, as part of our soul-searching in preparation for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and continuing through the remainder of the holiday season. Each year when we begin to say this I am reacquainted with the verse:
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
The words of the Psalmist remind me of one of the reasons that I became the president of our shul. I enjoy the shul, I enjoy being there, I enjoy services and I enjoy my chevreh, my friends.
I write this as Elul begins and I prepare for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and I begin the preparation with a reminder of why I volunteer and expend my time and energy where I do. It is out of feeling of deep respect for the history of the past, my feelings of love for God and with a hope of influencing the future for good.
Judy and Emily join me in wishing the entire community a Shona Tova, a good year
B'Shalom,
Bob Fishman
