It’s time to vote.
Yes, I know election day is the 3rd of November. But, many of us are fearful of waiting in line, surrounded by folks who may elect to NOT wear a mask, who may be infected with COVID 19- but we want our voices heard.

The 10th Day of Tishrei. That’s tonight’s (and tomorrow’s) Hebrew Date, which means it will be Yom Kipur. (The Tora [the bible] says – it was evening, it was morning; one day.

The statement at the head of the paragraph is what we say upon hearing of a death; Blessed is the one true Judge. Yes, in the middle of the trauma of death, we are blessing the Supreme Being.
The month of Elul is about to end. As I wrote on one of the first days of Elul, when the period of self-assessment begins, we are 30 days into the 40 day period of determining how we can make our lives- and the lives of others- better. (You can also search for Elul in the index to the left and see more of my thoughts on this “resolution-making” period.)
