No doubt we are all asking ourselves not only what has happened since that strange Pesach when some of us Zoomed our seders, but also what we have achieved in the unique year that has past and what we might manage in the year to come. What unimaginable changes might we be asked to confront? The Shofar sounds a wakeup call. Louis Jacobs observes that the notes carry us from confidence in God to weeping and then back to renewed trust. I hope this insight inspires you. Wishing you לשנה טובה ומתוקה.
