TISHREI 5784
Dear Community Family,
As we approach the holy New Year 5784, there are so many positive thoughts that come to mind. Every new year brings absolute new opportunities for new experiences as we are gifted a brand-new increased energy into our quiver of resources to be utilized in the coming 5784.
Each year on Rosh Hashanah, the particular Divine source of life and light that was present through 5783 ascends back to its source, and a new bolt of energy emanates down to each and every one of us.
This year in particular, the new year begins on the holy Sabbath / Shabbos, which brings with it increasing layers of sanctity and spiritual energy. Though the initial Rosh Hashanah occurred on a Sunday, the first day of creation, the completion of the creative process was just in time for the Sabbath, when Almighty G-d and His creations, including His crown creation of the human being, experienced fulfillment, completion, spiritual rest and the apex of creation. This year we are fortunate to have Rosh Hashanah come out on the Sabbath, when we do not only commemorate the first day of creation, but its fullest manifestation and fulfillment of its objective.
It is clear and obvious that our world needs the type of spiritual energy that touches our core to the extent that we bring recalibration, redirection and transformative elevation to our world that is so much in need of it.
We have been blessed by living in the most beautiful community, with the most extraordinary people, in a place that you could very easily refer to as Hashem’s Paradise in this world. It is our divine purpose to bring out the best in this paradise, and to expand it to our entire environment.
May Hashem grant His bountiful blessings to each and every one of us from His full, open, ample, holy, expansive, giving Hand for ultimate success and fulfillment, materially and spiritually, with health, plentifulness, Nachas from our families with absolute peace of mind and soul.
May you and your loved ones be inscribed and sealed for the best year ever as the world reaches proper balance, and the ultimate redemption with the coming of our righteous Moshiach now.
With Torah greetings and blessings, love and esteem,
Sholom D. Lipskar
