RABBI
AVROHOM HERMAN, Rav
Dear
Friend,
It is difficult to believe that it is Erev Rosh Hashana, and in just
one day the current year will end and a new year will begin. Our tefillos and thoughts on Rosh Hashana
will dwell upon the future. We will daven and yearn
for a year of good health, nachas from our children, parnasah, shalom - particularly in
Two of the three
steps are fundamentally personal acts. Charity can be given anonymously or with
minimul attention. Teshuva
is between each individual and Hashem. Only He knows
the true feelings of remorse for misdeeds of the past and resolve for
righteousness in the future, which are integral parts of teshuva.
Tefillah, however, has an important public dimension
to it. While it is, also, personal as an “Avodah ShebaLev,” a duty of the heart that can be fulfilled on
your own and in privacy, it is substantially more meaningful and compelling
when said with a tzibur, congregation. In addition,
only with a minyan can certain key tefillos be recited and particular obligations discharged.
We must, therefore, take our personal obligation of tefillah
and join with others to make it meaningful and inspiring. Proper tefillah requires concentration on the words being said and
an awareness of our standing before Hashem. It is not
easy to leave the mundane world and enter into this spiritual state of mind.
For this reason the atmosphere in shul is critically
important. Only when the congregaration is involved
and participating in the davening can an inspiring
environment conducive to proper tefillah be created.
We all recognize how important our personal tefillos
are on Rosh Hashana. Let us make a
collective and concerted effort to create an atmosphere in the shul that will be inspiring to all.
Wishing you, your families, our community and Klal
Yisroel a year of bracha, hatzlacha, yeshuos venechamos.
Kesiva V'chasima Tovah,
Rabbi Avrohom Herman
