Dear Kitah Daled
families,
I am so excited to be exploring the Jewish calendar cycle
with Wednesday afternoon Kitah Daled attendees. On September 16, we wished each other a good
and sweet new year and enjoyed apples and honey. We looked at the Tishrei calendar, counting the ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom
Kippur and learned that this time period is called the Aser Yamei Teshuvah, the ten days of returning. We learned that when an archer misses the
target, he/she may say, “chatati” I
missed the mark and that the word for transgression, chayt, is the same. We
talked about our own behaviors that miss the mark, each of us selected one
behavior and wrote it on a post-it note, attached the note off-center on a
target and decided that we would try to eliminate those behaviors. We began that process by ripping up the
target and our post-its.
Tsom Kal veG’mar
Chatimah Tovah—may you have an easy fast and complete the inscription (in
the Book of Life) well.
