When Passover arrived just a few weeks after the pandemic set in earlier this year, it was clear that seders with families and friends would not be happening. Five months later, as Jews across the countryprepare for the High Holidays, calculating risk has become much harder. The pandemic seems under control in parts of the country but is still raging in others; some people are staying home as much as possible while others have practice going out safely; and the costs of disruption and isolation are beginning to feel more acute

Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose and three additional Hadar fellows reflect on the calls of the shofar In this unprecedented year when our High Holiday experiences will surely be modified to address the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, below you will find a Kavanah (contemplative meditation) to be shared in your homes and in our Houses of Worship prior to the sounding of shofar. Penned by four Hadar Jewish Wisdom Fellows (three rabbis, including myself, and a hazzan), we hope these text based inspired ruminations will help in the introspective work that these Days of Awe are intended to catalyse. May the sounds of the Shofar help usher in a Good New Year and may 5781 herald the arrival of new era, one filled to overflowing with health, wholeness, happiness and holiness.

This weeks parsha poses a challenging theology and ideology. After nearly 40 years of wandering in the desert, all of the Israelites men, women, young, strangers stand before God and are told that in an effort to create transparency and accessibility, all of the commandments will be recorded for them: Lo bashamayim hi It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it? Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?
