another jewish new year in captivity

With the passage of Rosh Hashanah I remember Gilad Shalit, who is still being held against international law. The Israeli government has repeatedly made overtures to secure his release and his captors have done nothing. As I look forward this year, may it be filled with blessings for Gilad and his family.

A morning prayer:

מודה אני לפניך מלך חי וקיים שהחזרת בי נשמתי בחמלה, רבה אמונתך.
I offer thanks before you, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.
