Torah (1)

Last year, I recorded the Torah portion Beresheet a day after the 7th of October massacre, and you can’t see I had no idea what was about to come.

A year has passed, and we find ourselves still in the midst of conflict. Change is not just needed—it’s essential. Now, as we begin the cycle of Beresheet again, we’re determined to make this year different.

This week’s portion isn’t only a fresh start; it’s a reminder. It calls us to remember the victims, the sorrow, and the hardships of the past year. But with this new beginning, we commit to stepping up, to making each moment count. Beresheet challenges us to hold hope that next year will bring something better.

Here’s to making that hope a reality. A memory of last year- and from next week – it will be different.

Shabbat shalom
