There are very few shopping days until Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur! The #1 thing we are all going to ask for this year is – life.
Write me into the “Book of Life.”
Give me more time.
And G-d is asking back, “What are you going to do with it?”
Last year before Rosh Hashana, my husband and I and two other couples took the time to make our plan to answer the question: Where did we want to be at this time next year in the most important aspects of our lives?
Because if you don’t know where you are going, G-d can’t get you there.
Why would The Almighty send you opportunities, wise people, and resources if you would pass them by or not utilize them properly?
The results of this work were nothing short of phenomenal, and one of them is happening this coming week, as, G-d willing, we walk our daughter, Malkie, to the chuppah.
Here is a link to the worksheets.
Don’t forget to set yourself up for success by making sure you are accountable, so your action steps towards your goals happen. I suggest you get a Momentum Sister or Brother to be your partner in this, meeting monthly to keep each other on track.
I will be thinking of all of you on Thursday as we stand under the chuppah in deep gratitude for all that Hashem has bestowed upon us. May he shower you with blessings too.
Good Shabbos, Shabbat Shalom–
Lori

Jewish Values
Be Truly Kind
Jews do not practice random acts of kindness! Rather, regardless of our mood, we are obligated to always act with righteousness and kindness. With this in mind, it’s our job to teach our children to always search for opportunities to act with kindness, no matter how our own day might be going – and we need to model that, too. Carry band-aids, aspirin, chewing gum, subway tokens, loose change, candy, or any other things that people “need” on a regular basis – so that YOU can be the one to provide it.
