Dear Friends: One of the hallmarks of the Rosh Hashana prayers are the nine blessings that make up the Amida- the standard three opening and closing blessings and the middle three special blessings of Malchiyot (G-d’s Kingship), Zichronot (G-d’s Remembrances) and Shofarot (Shofar Blasts). The Gemara states in Tractate Berachot (29a) that the source for the number of these nine blessings comes from the nine Azkarot — the nine times that G-d’s Name is mentioned in the prayer of Channa (Samuel 2:1-10). This brings us to a question asked by Rabbi Yissocher Frand: what is so critically important about the story of Channa that it serves as the entire basis for the central prayer of Rosh Hashana? Channa’s prayer emphasizes how life is full of changing fortunes. She says, “…while the barren woman has born seven, she that had many children has been bereaved, (2:5). This is referring to the fact that she was previously barren, while her co-wife, Penina, had many children. However, now Channa has seven children and as each baby was born to Channa, Penina lost a child. As Rabbi Frand explains:

This then is Channa’s message to the Jewish people regarding Rosh Hashana: Life is fickle. Fortunes are so fragile. However, nothing happens by chance. Rather, everything ultimately is directed by G-d for our benefit.

And it is on Rosh Hashanah that G-d makes these major decisions about our lives. This demonstrates the gravity of Rosh Hashana, a day in which is determined the fate of our own personal lives, our families, our community, and the entire world. And despite the seriousness of this day, we are meant to observe Rosh Hashana as a Yom Tov, by wearing festive clothes and eating decadent meals. In the words of Rabbi Frand- how does one cope with this dichotomy? The answer, as Rav Tzadok HaCohen points out, lies in the shofar blasts themselves. The order of the shofar blasts dictate that the shevarim and teruahs, which are the broken sounds of the shofar (representing the crying out of a broken spirit), must always be sandwiched between two unbroken tekiahs (which represent simcha). So too, on the exterior, we must act and feel like it is a Yom Tov, but on the interior — between the tekiahs — we must have a fear that anything can happen. On Rosh Hashana, each one of us must grasp the dichotomy of this holy day, the awesome knowledge that everything will be determined on this day, while at the same time, the confidence that all that happens is somehow part of a Divine plan intended for our benefit. The broken sounds of the shofar must be sandwiched by the firm sounds of the tekiahs. May it be G-d’s will that we as a community, together with the entire House of Israel, be written for a good, lengthy, and peaceful life.


“Rabbi, what is that on your wrist?”

“It’s a Fitbit.”

“Why do you wear it?”

“It tracks how many steps I take each day, the quantity and quality of my sleep, and other important pieces of information.”

“C’mon Rabbi, sounds like shtick to me. Do you really need that? What does it do for you? You already know you should be active each day and that you need to get enough sleep, so just do what you are supposed to, why do you need to wear something?”

I thought about his question and it struck me as compelling. We know what we need to do in life, so why not just do it? Why involve outside “shtick”? Isn’t it just a distraction . . . And then I remembered an excellent quote from the great management expert Peter Drucker: “What gets measured gets managed.”

“The value of wearing a Fitbit,” I told my friend, “is that it holds me accountable to achieve my commitment and forces me to confront the reality of falling short, rather than at the end of each day bluffing or fooling myself about what had in fact transpired that day.”

Spiritual Growth Across the world from Professor Peter Drucker lived another management expert, only he specialized in personal management. Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, Hy”d, also known as the Piaseczno Rebbe, was a Chassidic Rebbe in Poland who served as the Rabbi of the Warsaw Ghetto and, after surviving the uprising, was later shot dead by the Nazis in the Trawniki labor camp. Among his many talents, he had incredible insight into human psychology . . . the Piaseczno Rebbe says that when it comes to our character, our personal growth and becoming the best version of ourselves – what gets measured, gets managed. One cannot claim to care about growing spiritually and fail to devise a plan or a strategy, set goals, and, most

importantly, identify how progress will be measured. It is one thing to say you want to work on having greater patience and being slower to anger and another to articulate a plan for how. Does the plan answer questions such as: What triggers your anger? Why do you lose patience? How will you learn to react differently? How will you measure and track if you are improving in this area?

The difference between a desire to grow being just lip service and empty words versus the beginning of real change is designing our personalized Spiritual Fitbit – a Spiritbit.

Here are a few things to consider when programming your Spiritbit:

Limit – Identify one or two areas you want to work on at a time. Taking on too much at one time makes it overwhelming and intimidating, making it almost impossible to make real progress.

Be Real – Be realistic in setting the goals. Don’t pledge to make radical changes that are impossible to achieve and unsustainable to maintain.

Plan – The Rambam writes that to authentically accomplish teshuva, vidui, articulating what we have done wrong, must be done out loud. Only by saying or writing what went wrong and what we will do to repair and improve in the future can we avoid bluffing ourselves or our way through this process. Putting our plan and goals into words causes us to be thoughtful, strategic, honest, and gives us a reference to measure against.

Accountability – Involve a family member, friend, or confidant in holding you accountable for doing what you say you are going to do. Choose someone trustworthy, kind, and who is more interested in helping you grow than in catching you fail.

Schedule – Most businesses and companies have employee reviews. A good review seeks to validate and accentuate the positive while identifying and isolating areas that need improvement. Without scheduled reviews, it is unlikely time would be taken to reflect and to plan. Put in your schedule


designated times to review your progress.

Celebrate – Make space to celebrate your progress and growth. Be proud and use that pride to be motivated to grow further.

Start Again – Don’t stop just because you accomplished your particular goal. Set more goals and pursue them with the same resolve that brought you success the first time.

Get more sleep, lose weight, have less anger, stop feeling jealous, be more scrupulous in following Jewish law, set aside time daily for Torah study – whatever the area you want to work on, this can absolutely be your year.

But it won’t happen if you don’t design a Spiritbit, a mechanism to be honest and to track results.

This Rosh Hashana, wear your Spiritbit and finally become the best version of yourself.

One of the greatest indications that someone loves and cares about us is that they give us the feeling that we are always on their mind. They check in with us on a regular basis to see how we’re doing and how our life is going. The call of the shofar reminds us that the King of the universe loves us, is

thinking about us, and cares about our lives. He is judging us because He loves us, like a mother who “judges” her children to make sure they are on track for living a quality life.

On Rosh Hashana we proclaim that God is King and we invite Him to rule over us. Not like a tyrant who threatens us with punishments if we don’t obey His every whim and desire; it means that we invite Him to rule over us because we know He loves us and wants everything good for us.

The essential message of Rosh Hashana is that God wants a relationship with us. The shofar is a call of love. This is the time to honestly examine your relationship with God. How badly do you want a relationship with Him? What can you do to improve it?

Intimacy requires emotional honesty. If I am not able to tell you how I truly feel, than we can never get close. If I pretend everything is ok when it’s not, then I rob us of the opportunity to be intimate. To improve our relationship with God, we must be vulnerable and tell Him how we truly feel. And that requires being honest with ourselves. What is it that prevents me from feeling closer to The King? He wants to know the truth about how we really feel about Him. Some possible examples might be:

I feel abandoned by You and alone Sometime I’m not sure you exist I feel afraid of You I’m angry at You I feel guilt-ridden and never good enough I feel you demand too much of me

On Rosh Hashanah God says to us, “Come talk to me. Be honest with me. Be honest with yourself. I want to know how you really feel. It’s ok to feel whatever you feel. I love you. I can handle it. Just come and be honest with me and talk to me. We can work things out and build a better, stronger, and closer relationship. It’s so important to me. You’re so important to me. Please, won’t you give it a try?”

Here are some possible action steps to take: 1. Identify what your biggest struggle is with God.

Identify what is bothering you most. 2. Once you’ve identified what’s bothering you, make a

commitment to address this issue. Don’t accept that this is just the way it is and nothing can be done to change the way you feel.

3. Talk to someone about your struggle to see how you might work on changing the way you feel.

4. Make an action plan to continue working on this after the holidays are over. Remember, our greatest struggle is where our greatest potential for transformation lies.

As we work through our struggles with God, it is crucial to remember that no matter how we feel about Him, His love


for us is unwavering. Like a child who runs away from home, his parents have only one thing on their mind – the hope that their precious child will come home as they wait with open arms.

So stop. Take a deep breath. Focus right now on the truth that it’s so good to be alive. With all the pain and struggle of life, deep down we treasure the gift of being a conscious, feeling, thinking being. Look around and remember Who

loves you and Who gives you this awesome experience of being alive.

The ultimate growth opportunity of Rosh Hashana is to work on understanding and improving our relationship with God. When the holiday is over, we should feel that our relationship with God has changed. Let’s use these two days well. If we do, we may truly understand why these days are called the “Days of Awe.”

It’s strange, very strange. Rosh Hashana is the beginning of the aseret yemei teshuvah, the ten days of repentance. We reflect on the past year, recall the bad we did and the good we failed to do, apologise, confess and ask for forgiveness.

Yet there’s almost none of this on Rosh Hashana. There is no confession, no Ashamnu bagadnu, no Al chet, no reference to the past year, no looking back. One of the few references to the fact that we are embarking on a process of teshuvah is the Unetaneh Tokef prayer reminding us that today our fate is being written: who will live and who will die.

Surely the beginning of the days of repentance should begin with repentance? The answer is one of the deepest truths of Judaism. To mend the past, first you have to secure the future.

I learned this from the Holocaust survivors I came to know. They were among the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met, and I wanted to understand how they were able to survive, knowing what they knew, seeing what they saw.

What I came to realise was that many of them did not speak about those years, even to their spouses or their children, sometimes for as long as forty or fifty years. Only when they had secured the future did they allow themselves to look back at the past. Only when they had built a life did they permit themselves to remember death.

That was when I understood two strange characters in the Torah, Noah and Lot’s wife. After the flood, it seems, Noah looked back. Overwhelmed by grief he sought refuge in wine. Before the flood he was the only person in the whole of Tanakh to be called righteous, yet he ended his days drunk and dishevelled. Two of his sons were ashamed to look at him.

Lot’s wife disobeyed the angels, turned back to look at the destruction of Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. I think the Holocaust survivors knew that if they turned and looked back they too would be reduced to the salt of tears.

Jews survived every tragedy because they looked forward. When Sarah died, Abraham was 137 years old. He had just lost the woman who had shared his life’s journey and who had twice saved his life. He might have been paralysed by grief. Yet this is what we read: “Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and weep for her. Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife” (Gen. 23: 2-3): a mere ten words in Hebrew.

We then read how Abraham bought the first plot of land in Israel and arranged for a wife for his son. Long before, God had promised him children and a land. By the time Sarah died he owned no land, and had one unmarried child. Instead of complaining to God that He had not fulfilled his promises, he understood that he had to take the first step. First

he had to build the future. That was how he honoured the past.

And that’s what we do on Rosh Hashana. The Torah readings are about the miraculous birth of two children, Isaac to Sarah and Samuel to Hannah, because children are our deepest investment in the future. We proclaim God’s sovereignty as if the day is a coronation, the beginning of a new era. Then, having committed ourselves to the coming year, on the intervening days and Yom Kippur we can turn and apologise for last year. Paradoxically in Judaism the future comes before the past.

This one insight could transform the world. After the Holocaust, Jews didn’t sit paralysed by grief. They built the future, above all the land and state of Israel. If other nations really cared about the future instead of trying to avenge the wrongs of the past, we would have peace in some of the world’s worst conflict zones.

And so it is with us. First we have to focus on building a better future. Then and only then we can redeem the past.
