Summary
August 21, 2024 | eKoleinu | 17 Av 5784
Dear Congregation Kol Ami and Friends,
I cannot wait to experience 5785 with you, our Jewish High Holidays. This year our theme is “Hineni”. This Hebrew word found throughout the Torah is a response that our ancestors give in to affirm they are present in body and spirit, and ready to serve. As a community, Kol Ami we will explore what it means to be present, to show up as our full selves, and to serve our community and the world. I am so grateful to be your new senior rabbi. I am here to serve, Hineni, with my whole being. I hope you will join us for the holidays, invite new and old friends.
Together we can be fully present in body, mind and heart! "Hineni - HERE I AM"!
Rabbi Reznick,
Rabbi Lindy Reznick
Senior Rabbi, Congregation Kol Ami.
