The High Holy Days of the Jewish calendar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are the time of self-reflection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten days to consider the question<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I the person I intend to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where have I fallen short?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we have hurt someone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that the passion has passed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not too late to find the person we have hurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Share our regret<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask for forgiveness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heal our relationship<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we have made choices that led us down a wrong path<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that we see our error<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not too late to make new choices<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To change our life<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To heal our soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To heal our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our hearts are broken<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our lives are torn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our communities are divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our nation is challenged<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our world is threatened<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And every year, we are given an opportunity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To repair what is broken<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To mend what is torn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To bridge what is divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To defend what is challenged<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To strengthen what is threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the High Holy Days<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For nothing is more holy than the work of new creation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the Days of Awe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For nothing is more awesome than is our power to begin again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
