Rosh Hashonnah Sesshin

Today we are in the middle of a beautiful, Rosh Hashonnah Sesshin, sitting, chanting Avinu Malkeinu, sending blessings and studying Torah, in honor of the New Year.

But rather than simply learn one phrase after another, hear the words we've heard before, perhaps it is enough to take one phrase, to sit with it for hours and days in the silence, to make it our own, to allow it to live us all year long.

What can it really, truly mean to Coronate Gd as King? What does it mean to each one of us to trust Gd and live everyday as a true servant?

No answer, just the question, and hour and hour of sitting, breathing and listening to whatever comes.

L'Chaim to all,

Shanna Tovah
