Views From Jews

This month we present a photo from Elana Pentelnik, a freshman at University of Cincinnati, telling us what she envisions when she thinks of the following quote:

All vows/Prohibitions, oaths, consecrations, vows that we may vow, swear, consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves/ from this Yom Kippur until the next Yom Kippuer, may it come upon us for good/ regarding them all, we regret them henceforth/ They will all be permitted, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, without power and without standing/ Our vows shall not be valid vows; our prohibitions shall not be valid prohibitions/ and our oaths shall not be valid oaths. - Kol Nidrei

We welcome your photographic contributions for the month of Heshvan:

"...The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree/ they shall thrive like a cedar of Lebanon/ Planted in the house of the Lord/ they shall flourish in the courts of our God/ They shall bear fruit even in old age/ they shall ever be fresh and fragrant/ They shall proclaim: The Lord is just/ He is my rock in whom there is no flaw." - Psalm 92 

Submissions should be sent to Shira Novack, no later than September 25th. All submissions become the property of KOACH.
