With all the heavy spiritual lifting of the High Holidays, we sometimes forget that laughter is both sacred and entirely appropriate to this time of year. These Rosh Hashanah blessings, and the images which accompany them combine some of my deepest hopes for all of us in the year ahead, with great humor. Enjoy them all and know that I pray we are all blessed with a year of health, happiness, sweetness and success.
\nMay we enjoy our apples and honey.
\n\"apple<\/span>
\nMay we know when to surrender, and do so with grace.

\nMay we remember that some people’s lives are parched dry… and be grateful for the abundance in ours.
\n\"melon<\/span>
\nMay we carry our loads with ease amid sweetness.
