Happy New Year. I can say that, having been pronounced an honorary Jew by our departed friend, the rabbi.

Happy New Year. We all need new years, new beginnings, days of atonement. They purify us, even by osmosis.

Happy New Year. I remember a lovely young woman telling me with great enthusiasm about the spiritual glow from her family's fast at Yom Kippur.

Happy New Year to friends all over the world, and particularly Jen and Sam in Tarn-et-Garonne. We stayed with them once at Yom Kippur; their home was still, the weather hauntingly gorgeous in France, just as in New York.

Happy New Year.

We still fondly remember the day you and Marianne spent with us on Yom Kippur in France. Breaking the fast is always good, but it was especially lovely having you as guests for that meal.
L'shana tova to you both, Sam and Jen

Happy New Year to you and yours, George. Peggy and I have been blessed to share in Jewish religious ceremonies and are warmed by the experience.

George

Thanks for the warm holiday wishes.

The Jewish New Year is a time for reflection. I never make yearly resolutions, but it is the time to look back at the past year and evaluate your behavior towards others.
