High Holidays 5785
Dear Friends
Every Aseres Yemei Teshuva we want to change.
And yet, a year later when we reevaluate ourselves a year later, we fall short of our lofty goals.
Perhaps that is the normal course of dreams-and-reality. This year I would like to try something with you.
I want to share a basic framework for personal growth called the Change Checklist.
It is the outgrowth of many honest conversations with many growth-oriented members of our community.
It is an attempt to do better for ourselves for the year 5785.
With a little structure, direction and accountability we can achieve realistic growth.
Please take a look at the instructions and then take charge of your Change Checklist in your own way.
I am happy to send the Word version to anyone who wants it, so you can edit it easily.
May this be a year of growth and fulfilment.
Gmar Chasima Tova.
Rabbi Ya'akov Trump
