Reflections for the Jewish New Year 5785
The future of humanity depends on maintaining the balance between the authority given to humans by God and their consciousness of the Creator. The Book of Lamentations, traditionally attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, contains elegies written after the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. In Lamentations 5:21, it says, "Turn us towards you, Lord, and we will return to you; renew our days as of old." Today's humanity needs to accomplish such a return before future destructions occur. We must change the paradigm that centers around power, possessions, and immediate pleasures instead of focusing on returning to God.
