I’m normally organised enough to put up a ‘good wishes’ for Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year or rather one of the Jewish New Years as there’s four of them including a new year for trees) before the festival starts. However this year I’ve been rather disorganised and so busy with ‘life’ stuff that I didn’t manage it.
However I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all the Jewish readers of this blog Shana Tovah and may the next year be sweet for you. May there be less grief and less hatred and less of those Jews whose knees tremble at the thought of not going along with the lefty crowd, or who put the lives of other Jews in danger by screaming for ‘Palestine’. May they start to understand why it is dangerous and unhelpful to do so.
Let’s set about making ourselves better than we were in the previous year. May we not surrender to despair or the darkness, even though such darkness may look all enveloping. Let’s stand up for what’s right and not cower in the face of the bloodied maw of ideologies that are both inhumane and morally wrong. Shana Tova Umetukah, Am Yisrael Chai.
