Rosh HaShanah is both contemplative, as we turn to the introspection required of us before Yom Kippur, and festive, as we celebrate the Jewish New Year. A special part of the joy around Rosh HaShanah is the fact that some of our residents have their family members join them at our Rosh HaShanah services. Recently on a Sunday afternoon, Rabbi Cohen encountered two residents, each with their sons. Each son asked about joining us for our High Holy Day services, to which the Rabbi enthusiastically replied: “Of course, You are welcome to join us.” One resident’s son who had been present for the Passover Seder was delighted. The other resident’s son said: “Well yes, I was with you last Rosh HaShanah and I might like to come and join you again. I was just wondering if I could decide at the last minute and drive up from Austin. Rabbi Cohen was able to reassure him, “Our sanctuary has plenty of space for more guests.” Each resident and each son were gratified, and the conversation turned to how lucky each mother was to have such a son!
