As we usher in the year 5784, we are reminded of the power of community, the strength in our shared prayers and the value of being Panim el Panim—face-to-face—with one another. Rosh Hashanah is not only the beginning of the Jewish New Year; it is a rekindling of our communal spirit, an opportunity to look forward to a year filled with promise, emotional growth and spiritual nourishment.

To honor our High Holy Days theme of Panim el Panim, our cantors Mo Glazman and Sara Anderson have prepared a moving and heartfelt rendition of "Hinei Ma Tov." This song embodies the essence of community and fellowship, and serves as a reminder of how good and pleasant it is when we dwell together in harmony.

In a time when it's easy to feel disconnected, the value of being physically and emotionally present for each other has never been more important. As we gather together during these High Holy Days, let us commit to cherishing the beautiful faces in our community—both familiar and new—and to uplifting one another in times of joy and sorrow.

May your new year be filled with sweetness, your days with love and your actions with meaning. We look forward to sharing more meaningful moments with you in the coming year.

Shanah Tovah U'Metukah!
