The August new moon marks the beginning
of the Jewish month of Elul. Its about the time our barn swallows begin
their long flight back to South America. Twittering and calling, they
line the telephone lines giving their youngsters last minute flight
instructions. Quoting Rabbi David Ingber, it is spiritually, a time of
change "
both returning to who we really are and becoming who we are yet to be..." How like the swallows! We met and danced and played and ate in the red tent. Then we shared things we were sorry about and things we look forward to learning and doing better in the future.
