Today is the first day of Rosh Hashonah, the Jewish New Year, for 5785.Leverage2Market Logo

Tradition has it that this is the time when we celebrate by wishing each other a sweet year to come.

That’s a little harder to do this year. Monday is the first anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel that killed over 1200 people and resulted in more than 250 being taken as hostages (some alive, some as corpses).

Almost immediately after that attack, Hezbollah started shelling Northern Israel from posts on the Lebanese border. After almost a year, Israel has pushed back, attacking Hezbollah operatives and killing the founder of the group, who was also responsible for killing more Americans in terror attacks than anyone except Osama bin Laden.

Meanwhile, antisemitism has spiked around the world, growing like wildfire on US college campuses and among ultra-progressives. While some may disagree on Israel’s tactics, these people think the country has no right to exist. Some, like singer Macklemore, think that applies to the US as well.

With all this going on, it’s difficult to feel joyous on day #362 of October 7th. But we still look forward to a better year ahead—to a day when these conflicts are behind us and we can focus on simple things like happiness, health, and prosperity. In the meantime, I leave you with the words I wrote here last October:

Know that even as we fight through all of this, our prayers all end with a wish for peace.



Let us help your business rise to the top.
