The Month in Focus - A Message from Rabbi Brackman
This coming Jewish month, Marcheshvan, appears at first glance to be a dull month, devoid of any festivals or special commemorations, somewhat of an anti-climax and cooling off period after the intense and spiritual month of Tishrei preceding it.
From a deeper perspective however, the opposite is the case; the spiritual emptiness of this month has a constructive purpose, affording us a quiet time to consolidate, internalise and unpack all our ‘spiritual shopping’ we have just acquired, a time to integrate our newly inspired resolutions into regular daily life, making sure they are practical and lasting for the entire year ahead.
Shana Tova!
