On Rosh Hashana, a Rebbe approached one of his disciples to extend his wishes for a long and happy life. The chosid responded "Thank you, but I truly hope that my long and happy years to be are meaningful ones, full of positive accomplishments."
The wise disciple shows us that wonderful years alone are not enough. Each day, hour, and minute should be filled with meaning and good deeds, making the time really count.
This year when we are gathered in the synagogue on Rosh Hashana, let each of us ask G‑d to give us a wonderful yet meaningful year.
See you at shul on Shabbos.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Rabbi Paltiel joins Chabad colleagues from throughout Nassau County in a pre-holiday visit with County Executive Ed Mangano.
During the visit the rabbis explained to Mr Mangano the significance of the Shofar, and blew the traditional blasts. They also discussed the apple dipped in honey custom, to bring a sweet, successful year. Mr Mangano remarked: This could be helpful with the County budget!
Deputy County Executive, Port&;s very own Pat Foye, was also on hand to greet Rabbi Paltiel and his colleagues.

Heads or Tails?
By: Rabbi Aron Moss
Sydney, Australia
I read somewhere that there is a custom to eat the head of a fish on the night of Rosh Hashana, to symbolise that in the coming year "we should be the head and not the tail." What does this actually mean? I can't make head or tails of it... (sorry...)

Cleaning Up
Everyone has his share of &;not good.&; It&;s impossible that a physical being should be void of faults. The point is not to flee or hide from them. Nor is it to resign yourself to it all.
It is to face up to the fact that they are there, and to systematically chase them away.
Recognizing who you are and gradually cleaning up your act —it may look ugly, but it is a divine path.

the parshah in a nutshell |
|
|
|
ParshatNitzavim-Vayelech
The Parshah of Nitzavim includes some of the most fundamental principles of the Jewish faith:
The unity of Israel: "You stand today, all of you, before the L-rd your G‑d: your heads, your tribes, your elders, your officers, and every Israelite man; your young ones, your wives, the stranger in your gate; from your wood hewer to your water drawer."
The future redemption: Moses warns of the exile and desolation of the Land that will result if Israel abandons G‑d's laws, but then he prophesies that, in the end, "You will return to the L-rd your G‑d... If your outcasts shall be at the ends of the heavens, from there will the L-rd your G‑d gather you... and bring you into the Land which your fathers have possessed."
The practicality of Torah: "For the Mitzvah which I command you this day, it is not beyond you nor is it remote from you. It is not in heaven... It is not across the sea.... Rather, it is very close to you, in your mouth, in your heart, that you may do it."
Freedom of choice: "I have set before you life and goodness, and death and evil; in that I command you this day to love G‑d, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments... Life and death I have set before you, blessing and curse. And you shall choose life."
The Parshah of Vayelech (" And He Went") recounts the events on Moses' last day of earthly life. "I am one hundred and twenty years old today," he says to the people, "and I can no longer go forth and come in." He transfers the leadership to Joshua, and writes (or concludes writing) the Torah in a scroll which he entrusts to the Levites for safekeeping in the Ark of the Covenant.
The mitzvah of Hak'hel (" Gather") is given: every seven years, during the festival of Sukkot of the first year of the shemittah cycle, the entire people of Israel — men, women and children — should gather at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, where the king should read to them from the Torah.
Vayelech concludes with the prediction that the people of Israel will turn away from their covenant with G‑d causing Him to hide His face from them, but also with the promise that the words of the Torah " shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants."
