I am looking forward to seeing many of you as we start the new year together. As you know, you are all warmly invited to come and to bring guests as we welcome and celebrate the diversity of the IADS family. As you read this, please also take a moment to RSVP.
The fall chagim (holidays) are a time of joy and renewal. Their transformative power can also get lost in the logistics of service times and holiday meal menus. As we immerse in the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) let's make sure to seek and dive into moments of awe and wonder. Let's take the time to catch up with someone we haven't seen much this year, finally mend a broken relationship, and give ourselves space to breathe. The chagim give us the tools to refocus on what matters most to us, but only if we begin to open ourselves, and yes, our schedules, to what they can teach us.
I pray that the chagim will give us the strength to strive for healing, goodness, and love. L'shanah Tovah U'metukah--May each of us have a good and sweet new year.
