Rosh Hashanah, as we know also has the name Yom Teruah, the day of the blowing of the sound of the Teruah. The Teruah is one of the three notes that we blow on the shofar. The Teruah has many meanings and connotations. One of them is a lashon of Reut, a language of friendship. A language of Reim Ahuvim, of the Jewish people becoming friends with one another.
Rosh Hashanah is the day when we stand and we offer our friendship one to another. We give each other blessings for a good year and a healthy year. This is our opportunity now on behalf of the Hebron Fund and the Jewish community of Hebron to thank you for all your support, to thank you for being with us through thick and thin. We are thanking you even if you can’t physically be with us this year for letting us know that we are here on behalf of all of Israel.
On Rosh Hashanah, so many of our prayers are all asking Hashem to give us ultimate redemption and to fix the Shechina and fix the Divine Presence and to build up and acknowledge God’s Oneness throughout all the universe and throughout all the world. It’s all in the merit of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah, especially during Rosh Hashanah when you blow the ram’s horn of Isaac our Patriarch. We are asking God to answer us in the merits of the Patriarchs and the Matriarchs. We are here for all of you, standing together Atem Nitzavim HaYom Kulchem.
“HaYom” is referring to the day of Rosh Hashanah, and God willing, in the merit of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs will give us a year of good health, prosperity, a year of simcha and sasson, Amen and Amen. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the Book of Life, the Book of Redemption.
