This evening marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year . . . a time to wish all of my family, friends, and the entire world a year of peace, health and prosperity.

In recognition of this, one of the highest holidays of the Jewish year, I will take a brief respite from writing about the world’s ills and give my mind some time to reboot, hopefully to return refreshed. Until then . . .

Happy New Year,
Brendochka
