What a year it has been.
From the unprecedented re-election of President Trump to the ongoing war in Gaza, the attack on Iran, the fall of Syria, the elimination of Hezbollah, and the troubling rise of antisemitism across the globe. Add to this the breathtaking breakthroughs in technology — especially AI — and we find ourselves in a world of upheaval and disruption, yet also filled with blessings and opportunity.
You can sense we are living in a time of transition. As this Hebrew year draws to a close and we prepare to enter a new one, it is a fitting moment to pause — to look back, to take stock, and to chart a course forward.
Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson or a special year-end discussion: A Year in Review — Where Do We Go From Here? Together, we will uncover not just what has happened, but what it means — and how each of us can turn challenge into growth and uncertainty into purpose.
