Happy New Year

While I wish for all of us a Shana Tova Umetuka (Happy "Sweet" New Year), want to send thoughts especially to Gilad Shalit and Jonathan Pollard. They will not be able to celebrate the new year tonight with their families, may this be the last Rosh Hashana they spend in captivity.

V'shavu Banim L'gvulom. This year. Amen.
