High Holy Days are almost here!
“Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.”
— Bob Dylan
 Dylan’s paradox reflects the inconsistencies and the realities of the human condition. The young believe they have little to learn, and with age comes the wisdom to realize how little we truly know. The key is perspective—a point of view in time that imbues us with insight, vision and, if we’re lucky, humility.
But the passing of time is not the only force that earns us perspective. We must also strive for openness—an openness of heart and mind to grow through our mistakes, applying hard-earned lessons to succeeding possibility. The High Holidays offer a unique opportunity to meld time to openness. During these Awesome Days, we glean meaning from the cycles of time through honest consideration of self. Showing up at the right time is only half the battle. We must also make the most of that time, seeking change for ourselves as we work to bring change to the world.
May these holy days bless you and yours with health, happiness and peace through time well spent.
B’shalom,
Daniel A. Weiner
Rabbi

Life Long Learning 2010-2011
The life of the mind paves the way for the journey of the spirit. At Temple De Hirsch Sinai, we delve into the text of our tradition, seeking voices of the past to guide our hearts and minds as contemporary Jews. Our vibrant Life Long Learning program gives adults opportunities to deepen their understanding of Judaism: unique “extension”-style classes covering a depth and breadth of topics. This year, we invite the community to join us on our journey of discovery. Read for more information. |
