Shanna Tova - Happy Jewish New Year to all

To all the members of the Consortium, and to all of the readers of my blog,

As we enter the Jewish New Year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a "Ketivah Vachatimah Tova" and a "Shanna Tova Umetukah" - that you should be written and sealed for a sweet, healthy and productive new year!!

It is said the we, all the peoples of this world, breath life into the universe.  This is one of the ideas of blowing the Shofar - the Ram's Horn - on Rosh HaShanna, the Jewish new year.  

We take a small breath, push it through the Shofar and out comes such a loud noise.  That sound can be harmonious or cacophonous.  By choosing HOW we "breath" our lives, we will decide the sound of our life. (and.... as educators, we tend to make a BIG noise!!!!)

I extend a blessing to us all - even if we are not teaching in a classroom, we are all very much still teachers - that we should breath our lives in such a way as to positively influence the lives of our students.  For after all, a single life is an entire universe.

A happy, healthy new year to all.

(Oh yes, and don't forget to breath!!!!!  :-)
