Jack’s Winning Words 9/15/17
“May your coffee be strong and your burdens light.”  (Quote for Selichot)  My Jewish friends know about Selichot, the prayers said late at night or in the early morning, confessing and asking for forgiveness…as the New Year (Rosh HaShannah) begins.  The drinking of “strong coffee” at this time is meant to keep the praying ones awake.  But whether it’s the Selichot, or a simple, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner,” prayed by anyone…It’s a great way to begin a new day (or new year).    ;-)  Jack
