Rosh Hashanah, The Head/Start of the Year, is September 16, 2023. We are in the last reading of the Torah scroll, Nitzavim-Vayelech and in the last days of the 40 days of teshuvah = repentance. It has been a glorious time of personal discovery through which I am as clear as I have ever been […]
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15 For we have no permanent city here; on the contrary, we seek the one to […]
