   From Mud to Mastery - Rosh Hashana 5787

   We are entering Rosh Hashana, and its central liturgical demand is cheshbon hanefesh — an accounting of the soul. That’s the blueprint. The assessment of how many bricks were made and placed.

   The ritual to tell our story in a way that exemplifies all the paths that led to today’s harvest is a powerful reminder that my story of self is completely interconnected with everything my ancestors experienced.
