Shana Tova!

Rosh Hashanah poem by our member - Nanette Avery!

Happy Birthday world!

Your splendid trees sift
cradled breezes and
side- by side- houses
rest together like asters in a flower bed;
while inside
honey dipped apples
make impressions like tiny footprints;
a timeless tradition still just as sweet.
Sweet,
sticky sweet.
The challah round and plump,
a braid of memories in dough.
Everyone is rich with an appetite
of renewal
for it is Rosh Hashanah;
We need no passport
for the shofar guides us,
its calling comforts
and we rejoice.

Happy Birthday world!
