Shana Tova from Israel – Have a Sweet New Year!
This week the Jewish people will be celebrating Rosh Hashana – the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashana begins Wednesday at sundown and is a two day holiday concluding Friday night at which time we inaugurate the first Sabbath of the New Year. According to Jewish tradition God completed the creation of the world on Rosh Hashana. Every year on this day God takes inventory, an annual accounting. He sits in judgment over all mankind, reviewing the 'file' of every human being.

 [VIDEO] The Making of a Shofar
The "Shofar", made from the horn of a ram or other kosher animal, is traditionally blown as part of the prayer service of Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year), which is almost upon us. Its blowing is certainly the highlight of the day, inspiring Jews all over the world to heed its inspiring calls and return to God, the King of Kings.
There are many varieties of Shofars – they come in all shapes, colors, and sizes... all with a common purpose and message for the future. The piercing sound of the Shofar reminds us of the day when the Nation of Israel will finally be redeemed, with the arrival of the Messiah and the rebuilding of our Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
The Shofar inspires us to change our ways to show God that we are ready for that very special day.

The burial took place last Friday on the Mount of Olives (Har Hazeitim) in Eastern Jerusalem.
Rabbi Lifshitz's motto was, "We must not give up on even a single Jew. Every Jew is the offspring of our founding fathers: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." His motto has become the motto of Yad L'Achim.
