This Shabbos between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called Shabbat Shuvah, "Shabbat of Return." The name derives from the Haftarah for this Shabbos, which opens with the words (Hosea 14:2), "Return O Israel unto the L-rd your G-d..." Occurring in the "Ten Days of Repentance", it is a most auspicious time to rectify the failings and missed opportunities of the past and positively influence the coming year. The master Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria ("Arizal") taught that the seven days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (which will always include one Sunday, one Monday, etc.) correspond to the seven days of the week. The Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur includes within itself all Sundays of the year; the Monday embodies all Mondays, and so on. Shabbos Shuvah is thus the archetypal Shabbos -- the juncture in time at which we are empowered to influence every Shabbos of our year! Wishing y'all a Gmar Chasima Tova, with continued spiritual growth for all. Rabbi Chaim & Chanie P.S. As we did on Rosh Hashana, we ask all to please use a facemask on Yom Kippur, so everyone can feel comfortable. UPCOMING HOLIDAYS: Lulav and Etrog set: Orders are due TODAY by 5 pm! Please order here. Be sure to put "UPTOWN" in the note field. PARSHA: Was the Hakhel Gathering in the Seventh or Eighth Year? By very definition, there cannot be an eighth year in a seven-year cycle! more… SHABBOS SHUVA PARSHAS VAYELECH Shabbos 5 Tishrei - September 11 Sunday, 6 Tishrei - September 12 YOM KIPPUR Sukkot & Simchat Torah Holiday, Service & Candle Lighting Schedule >
