“With commitment, engagement, gratitude and love,
we co-create our meaningful world.”
– Dr. Carol Ochs

The Echoes of Elul reflections shared over the past twenty-nine days have inspired, challenged and touched us all as we move into these High Holy Days. To all of our contributors, thank you for your creativity, your words and for sharing part of yourself with our Temple Beth Sholom community. To all of our readers, thank you for engaging in the conversation virtually, via email and blog comments, as well as with one another at TBS events and Shabbat services.

It was incredible to share the experience of Elul together as a congregation. Wishing you all a very happy, introspective and sweet new year ahead!

L’Shanah Tovah,

Juliet Friedman
