1. “IN THE BEGINNING G-D CREATED
This Shabbat, in synagogues around the world, we’re back to square one.
Starting to study the Torah all over again. From the beginning.
It’s always been a very Jewish approach to Torah.
… As soon as we finish – we start again!
It’s something we should appreciate. Be proud of.
And make sure we continue.
… The love for learning. The endless passion to know more.
And – most importantly – never to say: “I know that already.” (more…)
This week’s Shabbat Fax/Email is dedicated by all of us at CTN, in memory of Rhoda Ross and Howard Ross z”l.

1. YOM KIPPUR. THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
After hours of prayer and introspection, it is customary to end Yom Kippur with a short ritual.
… A short blowing of the shofar.
Which is exactly how the High Holidays began. With the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah.
… And this might be one of the most important High Holiday messages. (more…)
