From my Table: Rosh Hashana 5783

Then I read my intro. I was shocked yet not the least bit surprised, mortified yet entertained, all at the same time. I think what took me most by surprise was that it was a message I would still say today, albeit expressed slightly differently.

We’re in this cycle of life, doing the same thing every year, with our same personalities and our same general outlook on life. And yet the nuances each year are just a little bit different, either due to maturity or to life experience, or resulting from a skill we’ve built.

Rosh Hashanah is about hischadshus. But not the hischadshus of something completely new and different. It’s a recommitment to the fundamental values we hold dear, with hopefully a more mature acceptance each year.

We’re back again with yet another Family Table Rosh Hashanah edition: recipes, articles, food crafts, and basics. Perhaps this time it’ll hit differently, or maybe it will inspire you to take something from a previous year and give it a new spin. Either way, we hope you enjoy it!
