We stand together
on the precipice
of the new year
as it is about to unfold.
What joys and sorrows will it hold?
As we turn, return, and relearn
our Sacred Purpose
may we strengthen our connection
to the Source of All.
May embarking on a journey
of teshuvah and reflection,
soul-searching and introspection,
help us hear—and answer—God’s call.
May this be the year we choose
to live our lives fully—
with passion, perspective
purpose and promise.
May the traditions
and teachings of our people
be an ongoing source
of strength and inspiration.
May we listen to the
still, small voice within
and may the unspoken prayer of our hearts
be answered and fulfilled.
