I hope everyone had a magnificent summer. It’s now time to get ready 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 wonderful choir under the direction of Eileen Weiser, are working hard to make this year’s services a most musically spiritual experience. Beautiful harmony will be filling our “Grand Ballroom Sanctuary” at the Hyatt Valencia. I hope all of you will join us, sing along with us, and pray together with us.

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
