Rosh Hashanah [Yom Teruah--Day of the Awakening Blast] is almost upon us.

Hello, John and Doves,

Since it is the twelfth month, Elul, we pray, “Next year in New Jerusalem!”

[crossed fingers] See Aish.com for a contemporary Jewish calendar.

It is written,

16Come and hear, all you who fear God;

let me tell you what he has done for me.

17I cried out to him with my mouth;

his praise was on my tongue.

18If I had cherished sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened;

19but God has surely listened

and has heard my prayer.

20Praise be to God,

who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld his love from me!

Again, it is written,

Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers

Isaiah 65:24

~Blessings,

Mike
