I hope everyone had a magnificent summer. But now it’s
time to get back to school and back to shul! Believe it or not, it’s now time
for the High Holy Days…a time of reflection and introspection. The Yamim
Noraim
are to be used as a time when we search our souls to see if we
can make ourselves better people. We start by asking forgiveness from those we
might have wronged during the past year. Then, on Yom Kippur, we ask G-d
to forgive us - in the prayer V’al Kulam. It’s written in the plural –
“For the sin that we have sinned…” 
It’s also a time when we can change our ways – being good to each other
and looking for the good in others.



The music of the High Holy Days is especially uplifting
and spiritual. We don’t sing the prayers on the Yamim Noraim quite the
same as we do at any other time of the year. Rabbi Blazer and I along with our
adult choir, under the direction of Eileen Weiser, have worked very hard to make
this year’s services a most musically spiritual experience for everyone at our
“Grand Ballroom Sanctuary” at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.

 
Laura, Adam, Aaron and I wish you all a Shana Tova U’metuka - a Happy, Healthy and Sweet New
Year!
 
 
B’Shalom,

Cantor Kenny Ellis
