Anything but God

We stand at the eve of Rosh HaShana, with the future of our own lives and the future of the world in our hands.  What kind of year will it be?  What kind of blessings will it bring?  Blessings filled with joy and peace?  Or blessings of challenge and difficult growth?  The answer is in our hands.

But upon whom do we place our hopes?  Upon our money?  Upon our skills?  Upon our cleverness?  Upon our connections?

In whose fate does the world's future lie?  In Obama's hands?  In Europe's hands?  In terrorist hands, God forbid?  In the hands of those with the most clever PR machines?

Attached please find this weeks Shu-Shine for Rosh HaShana and the Torah portion of 'Ha-Azinu': "Anyone but God?"

May we all be blessed to serve as priests to the world around us -- turning to HaShem for our success, and connecting those around us to the same Source of Goodness.

With Love and a Smile,

~Shu
