May the shofar’s sound echo like the sirens of the firefighters, police offices and first responders whose actions and sacrifice on 9/11 were extraordinary. May the shofar’s blast help us appreciate the fragility of life. 

On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, may the blast of the shofar serve as an alarm to us. May its sound remind us of our missteps this past year -- our biases, our prejudices, our own actions that may have made this world a less peaceful and tolerant place. May the shofar call us to heed our best instincts and act with compassion and love.

On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, may the blast of the shofar serve as a sound of comfort to all. To those wounded who continue to recover; to those who lost loved ones and friends; and to all whose hearts were broken by witnessing the pain of others. May the sound of the shofar on the 12th day of Elul help us reflect on how our world has changed in the past decade and how it has remained the same. And let each of us individually and communally recommit ourselves to again make our world whole. As the year 5771 draws to a close we reflect upon the year that was and the year that will be - where we have been and where we hope to be when the Days of Awe arrive. During these days of Elul, we pray that we may begin to repair the things we may have broken during the past year. And we pray that through these acts of Teshuvah, our world will become a more tolerant, just, and peaceful place. May this be God’s will.
