🕍 As the executive director of a synagogue, the weeks leading up to the High Holidays are a whirlwind of logistics, member requests, and last-minute preparations. But what if I told you that this seemingly chaotic time is actually one of the most rewarding parts of my job? In my latest blog post, "Shofar So Good: Embracing the Chaos of High Holiday Prep," I share why those eleventh-hour emails and apologetic phone calls from congregants are not just part of the job – they're a highlight. Discover how these moments of community engagement reflect the true spirit of our congregation and why they're at the heart of what makes the High Holidays so meaningful. Whether you're in nonprofit management, interested in community organizing, or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes of running a religious institution, this post offers a unique perspective on finding joy in the rush.

🌟Imagine a table filled with laughter, stories, and favorite dishes, bringing together our cherished seniors and their families. As we plan a holiday-themed potluck, we create more than just a meal; we create memories. Here’s how to make it special: 1️⃣ Invite their favorite dishes: Encourage seniors to cook or bring their beloved recipes. It's about sharing their joy and traditions. 2️⃣ Create a storytelling corner: Set up a cozy spot for sharing stories. Listen to tales from the past and wisdom that never ages. 3️⃣ Community involvement: Reach out to local groups who can contribute music, decorations, or help with organizing. It's a community affair! 4️⃣ Safety first: Make sure the venue is accessible and comfortable. Consider everyone's needs. 5️⃣ Capture the moments: Take photos – they're perfect keepsakes for residents and families. At the heart of it, it's about making seniors feel valued and connected.

What steps are you planning to take next? Our businesses, careers and communities are always evolving. Spending time in North Wales over the Easter holidays has got me thinking. We’ve spent time here with our family, and with our relatives. We’ve eaten well. Possibly too well! We’ve also had time to catch up on how things are going on the farm, in the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, that has been in our family for years. Bala, like many other farming and tourist industries, was hit hard during Covid and has been hit hard by the cost of living crisis. Bala, and it’s four mile long lake, is one of the most beautiful places you can visit in the UK. It’s also a community in crisis. Like many others across the UK. As someone who has been coming here for over fifty years, and has been welcomed into their community during this time, I want this town and their community to thrive. I want it and them to survive and thrive, long after I’m gone. It won’t happen without everyone coming together. We can create magic when we work together, in our towns and in our communities. The magic happens when we start talking, and when we start making plans together. What would you like to see coming to life where you live, or where you love to visit on your holidays? Everything that lasts begins with a conversation. And with people coming together, to bring something to life for generations to come. ………….. If you’re interested in helping your local community to grow and thrive, please get in touch. Words have magic, and the right words can open doors that can help communities for years to come.
