Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz D.M.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel observed that:

 

"Judaism teaches us to be attached to the holiness in time....to be attached to sacred events....to learn how to consecrate sanctuaries that emerge from the magnificent stream of a year...."

 

These "sanctuaries in time" can be communal - such as the weekly observance of Shabbat -

but they can also be personal and individual.

 

Although we all encounter challenges, obstacles and disappointments on our personal "journey" through life, there are also many blessing-filled moments worthy of special celebration and ceremony.

 

Some of these may include:

 

The Birth of a Child

The Beginning of a Child's Formal Education

Bar/Bat Mitzvah

A Job Promotion

Consecration of a New Home or Business

Acceptance into College; Grad School or Special Program

Graduations

Special Birthdays & Anniversaries

Celebration of Professional & Personal Accomplishments

Family Reunions

Renewal of Wedding Vows

Retirement

Embarking on a Journey / Travel
