Cantor Ben Moshe’s Message
This week we read Parshot Nitzavim and Vayelekh, on this, the last Shabbat of the year 5777. We begin the reading with the words “You are all standing here today before HaShem your God”-and then Moshe lists all of those who are listening to him, from the high to the low, all stations and statuses of the People of Israel. As we enter the High Holidays, we see that this is so. Jews come to synagogue more on the High Holidays than at any other time, and we all stand together. We are reminded that despite all of our differences, we are one People, with one destiny. May that awareness carry through the Days of Awe and throughout the New Year ahead, and may we all be inscribed for life, health, prosperity and happiness. Shabbat Shalom
Hazzan Yitzhak Ben-Moshe
