Yom Kippur — the Peak?
Perhaps. Yet not the Summit!
There’s more to go. We’ve hit the High Holiday highest point — but Monday night we usher in Sukkoth — the festival of Joy.
Here’s the thing — Holidays are tiring. They require strength and stamina.
Ralph Waldo Emerson defines a hero as “no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer".
Truth is, when one understands what the next set of Holidays are all about — one need not be a hero. It’s all about joy and who doesn’t want to be joyous and joyful?
So enjoy the peak — hopefully you’re nicely charged from the High Holidays — and ready yourself as we start off for the summit next week!!
With best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Yehuda & Dina Kantor
P.S. Here’s an invite for a Monday night Sukkoth kick off in the Sukkah — here and for a family celebration on Sunday — here.
