Chofetz Chaim cites an early source that the seven days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are very significant. They correspond to the seven days of the week and we have an incredible opportunity to rectify all the Mondays and Tuesdays of the year when we observe those days with total dedication to Hashem.
Relive the sparkle of our 23rd Annual Wine & Cheese Gala! From the unforgettable food to the warmest schmoozing in Denver, it was truly a night to remember. This year we were especially proud to honor Rabbi Danny & Sara Wolfe for a decade of extraordinary impact with The Jewish Experience and the Denver Jewish community. Browse the full gallery of photos, find familiar faces, and celebrate the memories with us!
We will soon stand in judgment pleading with Hashem for yet another year of good health, a comfortable income, nachas from our children and each other. Truly, if one even superficially considers the possible negative outcome of this time it should send us into a frenzy. However, we unfortunately don’t have that cognizance of this special time and therefore we don’t shiver in our boots at this time of the year.
Hashem’s ‘desire’ to provide us with mitzvos is amazing. During the harvest when one is very occupied with reaping his crop and ingathering it into piles ready to shipped off to the silo for processing, to forget a heap of grain would certainly be a generic incident. Therefore, upon noticing the forgotten harvest he would go back and retrieve it. However, the Torah commands us otherwise.
