Dear Friends and Naples Family,
What a Rosh Hashanah! With 600 people joining, Rosh Hashanah 5777 was our most exhilarating one yet. While Rosh Hashanah 5777 is now a thing of the past, hopefully the inspiration is not.
Thank you to our talented Gil Block, for producing resounding blasts of the shofar to echo through our hallowed sanctuary! The traditional sounds enveloped the 600 congregants who attended during the two days of Rosh Hashanah with warmth and welcoming, enjoying the true relevance of our High Holy Day experience.
Aided and abetted by our competent Cantor Yirmi, it was so gratifying to see many enthusiastic children participating in the services. And if that weren’t enough, with kind words from our President Art Seigel, and the camaraderie of old friends and new, we shared our amazing holiday banquets coordinated by the always-efficient Rebbitzin Ettie.
Surrounded by all this Yiddishkeit and good spirits, I am curious: as we begin a new year, I wonder what you found the most inspiring during the past few days? What message or thought will empower you as you head into a new year? The Rabbi’s jokes and speeches don’t count, of course:)
We hope to see everyone on Tuesday night for Yom Kippur. It is wonderful to be surrounded by all our Naples family and friends!
Wishing you a very happy, joyous, healthy and sweet New Year,
Rabbi Fishel & Ettie Zaklos
