Something to Celebrate<\/p>\n

Several years ago, I spoke with a local friend as we were walking out of Yom Kippur services. Since he had expressed reluctance about attending services, I asked him how the day had gone.
\nHe looked at me tentatively and asked “Am I allowed to say I enjoyed it?”
\nI can see why some people think of the High Holidays as tedious or even glum.
\nSpending hours in synagogue is only the beginning.
\nThe days’ theme focuses on acknowledging our responsibility to G-d and each other; there\u2019s also an impossible-to-miss emphasis on “atonement”, which entails a process of identifying and facing our mistakes.<\/p>\n

How uplifting can all that be?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that Chabad tradition describes a joyous enthusiasm that needs to permeate this time of year, up to and including these self-reflective, internally-scrutinous, High Holiday experiences.<\/p>\n

Because we matter to G-d. And our relationships, our personal relationships with G-d and the relationships between us human beings, are all important.<\/p>\n

Judaism tells us that our actions, each and every behavioral choice throughout the day, are very precious to G-d.<\/p>\n

They matter. Because WE matter.<\/p>\n

Our daily thoughts, words and actions rank so high on G-d\u2019s \u201cpriority scale\u201d that they are, to use the Rebbe\u2019s expression, \u201cHigher, Higher, and even Higher, to the extent that nothing else is Higher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Think about it in terms of a parent\u2019s connection to a child. When something is striking at the heart of their relationship, nothing is more important. Nothing.<\/p>\n

That helps us appreciate how nothing is more important to G-d than you and your life.<\/p>\n

Every move, every moment, is critically important; because every move and every moment speaks to the core of our special relationship.<\/p>\n

So this time of year presents an exciting opportunity. It\u2019s a time to re-visit and strengthen our unbreakable, intimate connection with the Divine.<\/p>\n

And if it hurts to see that the relationship is in need of some repair, so what?<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t fixing and strengthening a cherished relationship something to celebrate?<\/p>\n

Shabbat Shalom!
