May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
.I have been able to blow the SHOFAR each day in Elul because Marcel, z"l, loved blowing the Shofar, and he taught me. The gift of breath that G*d gives us in life is precious.
May these blasting notes piercing Heaven assist and give merit, ilui neshama, to Marcel on his continuing journey.
May you be blessed with HEALING and joy in your relationships during your process of Forgiveness.
I ask for your FORGIVENESS if I did anything in word or deed this year to hurt you, upset, alienate or anger you, or cause you distress. Please forgive me. Thank you for being in my life.
Thank you for your BlesSings you have shared with me. I love you.
One love, shalom and abundant blessings of health and joy to you,
Joy Krauthammer

PS
My original intention was to keep my Rosh Hashana New Year's greeting to you "short and sweet"
without my soul's usual overflowing enthusiastic ebullient joyousness.
I have been advised that "less is more." Maybe next year...
I take this gate to mamash / truly send you blesSings from my heart and soul.
How do YOU choose life?
I claim JOY

Shlomo Carlebach quotes the Sochachover:
"...Friends! Let this year be a real beginning, not the same beginning we go through every year. Let's not begin the old record over again -- let there be a new record. New teachings. New words. New thoughts.
"Let every breath we take feel like we never breathed before. The holy Sochachover says when we blow shofar, G-d absolutely blows a new soul into us. Lets keep this new soul so holy & so beautiful & let's inscribe each other into the book of life."

From my Jerusalem rebbe Yosef Ben Shlomo HaKohen, editor "Hazon – Our Universal Vision" www.shemayisrael.com/publicat/hazon A Letter to My Visionary Friends:
"Dear Friends,
During ELUL we prepare for Rosh Hashana – the New Year. This is a season of “teshuvah” – spiritual return; thus, during Elul, it customary to blow the shofar at the end of the weekday morning service. The sound of the shofar serves as a reminder to all of us to begin the journey “home” – to our Creator, to our own souls that were created in the image of the Creator, and to the Torah path of our Creator which enables us to fulfill the life-giving purpose of the Divine creation.
The sound of the shofar is a wake-up call, and it is not just a wake-up call to become aware of our personal and collective weaknesses which are preventing us from fulfilling our mission on this earth. The sound of the shofar is to also serve as a wake-up call to become aware of our personal and collective strengths which can enable us to fulfill our mission on earth, as individuals and as a people."
Please make MiSheberach for Reb Yosef, Yosef ben Udal. - Joy
With great sadness, I share that Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, zt'l, was niftar 27 Elul, 5772.
