Pachim K’Tanim From Rabbi Yudin: In honor of Rosh Hashanah and Parashat Ha’Azinu: On Rosh Hashanah we employ Simnah Milsah – taking every day foods, apples, carrots, cabbages, beats, dates, gourds, pomegranates, and finding symbolism either in the Yiddish name or in another characteristic, utilizing this as a springboard for prayer. Interesting, carrots in Yiddish is merrin, which means to increase and we therefore beseech Hashem to “to increase our merits”. At first glance this is most difficult. Can we sit back and He will increase our merits? I saw a sharp answer by the Admor Torahs Chaim of Kosov zt’’l, Reish Lakish in Yuma (86b) teaches that Tshuvah is so great, it can transform our willful sins to merits. There is however one condition that we do Tshuvah B’Ahavah , repent with love. Our eating the carrots and it’s accompanying prayer is our fervent desire that we be privileged to repent with love, to our Father who awaits us with love.

This week the children all baked cupcakes to celebrate the birthday of the world

on Rosh Hashana. Rabbi Yudin took all of the children into the shul to show

them the shofar and of course to blow it for them too! The pre k enjoyed a Rosh

Hashana round up using all of their senses. They snacked on apples and pom-

egranates and honey, sang silly apple songs and enjoyed showing their morot

all that they have learned about Rosh Hashana. All of the children brought

home beautiful honey dishes to enhance their Rosh Hashana tables and many

other decorative items for the New Year. We are looking forward to a year of

tremendous growth and learning for all of the children! Shabbat shalom and
