High Holiday services mean a lot to me and my family. We are all very strong believers of tradition
and every year we go to services no matter what. I have a lot of access to High Holiday
services because my family always goes.
I come from a very traditional Jewish background. My family and I take high holidays pretty
seriously. Provides me with what I need
for a spiritual cleansing. It gives me
and opportunity to pray with my community and also to prey by myself. It gives me a chance to get to a spiritual
high when I am praying just between me and Go-d. It gives me a feeling of thankfulness and
happiness. It makes me feel that I am
ok, and someone is watching whatever I do.
Although I go to temple on high holidays, I still get all my business
done too. Like a couple weekends ago on
Rosh Hashanah I had a very important soccer game to participate in, so I went
to the game and after I went to temple to pray with my family and
community. I make a personal connection
with G-d when I am singing the shmah during high holidays, I feel like it is
just me and G-d talking. By going to
synagogue it helps me connect best with G-d.
It would be going to top of the French Alps and singing the Shmah and
thinking about the nature and how beautiful everything is. I will be thanking G-d for creating such a
beautiful place for us to live in will repenting for all the wrong doings I
have committed. With the fresh air
blowing in your face, watching the sunrise, thinking why you did what you did
and how can you improve, that’s would be my ultimate spiritual high, a way to
cleanse my soul and thank G-d for everything he does for me and everyone that
surrounds me.
