SHABBAT SHALOM AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The last Shabbat of 2022. Wishing all who come here a  HAPPY 2023.

1.  I hope we all continue into the new year with good or        better health.

2.  Peace, that seems difficult to achieve, in our country          and abroad.

3.  Friendships strengthened or renewed

4.  Families gathered and love shared

5.  Sympathy to those who have lost someone dear

6.  Tolerance for anyone different from ourselves and 

      acceptance of opposite opinions or religions

Wishing all a new year filled with everything and anything you have wished for. Dreams do come true.

Love 💕

Thanks to @Shanus for continuing this thread.  Good Shabbos to all of you.

My father died on Christmas; he was buried on Wed.  95 is a good long life but it just feels so numb.  I haven't cried...

Loving your message, Shanus, and hope all take it to heart.

May the divisiveness that has torn apart our country -- in the extreme --- for the past six years be healed.  I hope peacemakers help us find ourselves again.  Presently, much has been done to repair the wounds and change hateful ways but we've a long way to go.

Hate and distrust of the "other" need to disappear in order for there to be peace.  All of us bleed red and put on our pants one leg at a time.  Always keep that in mind.

@kutira, My deepest condolences to you on the passing of your father. May his memory be a blessing. You were a very caring daughter to him.

kutira, 

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear father.  May his memory be a blessing!

He was such a plucky guy and I've admired him from afar.

May your father rest in peace.

@Shanus  Amen!   

Happy New Year and Shabbat Shalom!
