As Rabbi Carlebach sang "Return Again ..

Return to the Land of your Soul"

 

and as the Torah says this week in a couple of places

 

"V shav Hashem ... "

The Almighty will RETURN YOU -

 

meaning (my interpretation)

the Almighty reminds us sooner or later who we are - hopefully not too late!

 

Because you can only live a wholesome life if you know who you are -

 

the People of the Book

the People of the Land

the People who are bringing REDEMPTION to the world - not wars and craziness we see or hear of.

 

MAY THIS LAST SHABBAT OF THE YEAR RETURN US TO APPRECIATE SHABBAT, ISRAEL, G-D, AND EACH OTHER

 

Shabbat Shalom
