TISHREI 5782
Dear Community Family,
This new year 5782 is very outstanding being the Shmita/Sabbatical year filled with blessings and holiness. The Torah gives distinction to every seventh year in the lunar calendric cycle – calling it Shmita, when we must grant the earth respite, without plowing, planting, sowing and harvesting, allowing it to lay fallow and reenergize its nutrients and forces for an entire year.
The Shmita year is referred to as "the year of Sabbath". Just as the seventh day of each week is dedicated to G-d in peace and tranquility as we rest from 6 days of work, the 7th year is similarly dedicated to G-d in peace and tranquility as the earth rests from 6 years of agronomic toil and production.
A main aspect of this particular commandment reinforces our faith and reliance upon G-d who is ultimately the source of our everyday needs, and not to think or feel that our own work and physical environment is the only ingredient for our success.
The Torah states clearly that when out of natural concern we will ask “What shall we eat on the 7th year?” Almighty G-d assures us that in the sixth year the land will produce so plentifully that it will more than suffice for the 6th, 7th and 8th years as the new crop will only come during the latter half of the 8th year. G-d says, "And I will command my blessings to come upon you to be blessed with all bountifulness in a harmonious and peaceful way”.
Coming from a very challenging year that included many difficult circumstances from an overwhelming, unfathomable tragedy in Surfside, our world being locked down for more than a year, our deep concern and painful realization of our vulnerability facing the negative attitude towards our people around the world and especially in our Holy Land of Israel, and the individual difficulties that people have faced in many areas, it is time this year to have a complete transformation, when everything will work in an over-the-top manner with all good, happiness, joy, peace of mind and soul, and all that our hearts desires are fulfilled with G-d’s infinite blessings in a good way.
May this year be one truly filled with G-d's oversight and Divine compassion, overflowing with the enormous love that G-d Almighty has for each one of us, His children, as an elderly couple has for an only child in their old age.
We look forward very much to see you personally during these Holy Days and invite you to participate in all of our exciting events.
May each and every one of us and all of Israel be inscribed and sealed for a healthy, happy and sweet new year, together with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, with the immediate advent of Moshiach.
With love and esteem,
Sholom D. Lipskar
