Shabbat Shalom! As this is the last Weekly Edition of 5777, we would like to with you all a sweet New Year. We also ask your forgiveness for errors and omissions over the last year. As President Washington said, “I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.”

With the upcoming holiday week which glides right into Shabbat, this will be the publication schedule for the next week:

• Sunday through Tuesday: regular schedule (emails Monday – Wednesday)
• Wednesday through Shabbat: no publishing due to the holiday (look for the Weekly Edition on Sunday morning 9/24 instead)

If you haven’t already, please think about helping #Harvey and #Irma victims via donating to the Red Cross or through JEWISHcolorado’s Hurricane Relief Fund (which has been expanded to cover both disasters).

L’Shana Tovah! May you all have a sweet new year!
