Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur reflections!
It was a wonderful sight to see the shule full again after 2 years of lockdowns. Following an interesting last few months, the Shule was very fortunate in obtaining the services of Rabbi David Rubinfeld, who some describe as the Jewish Pavarotti, who travelled from the United States to assist Chazzan Ronny Kowadlo and the recently appointed Rabbi Effy Block in conducting the High Holiday services. There was an undeniable chemistry between them and it manifested itself in the services and drashahs. There were many highlights, including seeing all the children with their fathers and grandfathers on the Bimah and Aron Hakodesh for the blowing of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah preceded by Chazzan Ronny's son Asher blowing his Shofar. Mimi Cyprys's stirring welcome for Rabbi and Rebbetzin Effy & Shayna Block. For those that may not have heard, below is a transcript of Mimi's welcome. Thank you to all who assisted during the Yom Tov's, Special mention to Chaim, Chana & Mimi Cyprys, Gabbi Reuven Cyprys, Antony Michael and our cleaner Nick.

Haazinu in a NutshellDeuteronomy 32:1–52The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu (“Listen In”) consists of a 70-line “song” delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life. Calling heaven and earth as witnesses, Moses exhorts the people, “Remember the days of old / Consider the years of many generations / Ask your father, and he will recount it to you / Your elders, and they will tell you” how G‑d “found them in a desert land,” made them a people, chose them as His own, and bequeathed them a bountiful land. The song also warns against the pitfalls of plenty—“Yeshurun grew fat and kicked / You have grown fat, thick and rotund / He forsook G‑d who made him / And spurned the Rock of his salvation”—and the terrible calamities that would result, which Moses describes as G‑d “hiding His face.” Yet in the end, he promises, G‑d will avenge the blood of His servants, and be reconciled with His people and land. The Parshah concludes with G‑d’s instruction to Moses to ascend the summit of Mount Nebo, from which he will behold the Promised Land before dying on the mountain. “For you shall see the land opposite you; but you shall not go there, into the land which I give to the children of Israel.” © Copyright, all rights reserved.
