Rosh Hashanah Sermon

The rabbi gave a sermon Which I listened to on Zoom, Her Jewish New Year message Somehow piped into the room. The theme this year was kindness, Which seemed very apropos Since the world’s so full of hatred There’s no space for love to grow. If we all try just a little bit To treat each other well And give help to those in need Perhaps some pain we can dispel. It wouldn’t take much effort if Enough of us joined in. Some small displays of kindness Is the way we can begin. We shouldn’t need a rabbi To remind us of this fact Or a holiday to force us To remember how to act.

That's right. If that's all the 'Rabbi' can muster up on Rosh Hashana, time to switch Zoom channels. lol. Here's to a year of Health, Prosperity, and Peace. :) gw

One thing we can be is kind but so much of the time we are not. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara
