This coming Shabbat is called Shabbat Tshuva the 'Sabbath of Return' and is a preparation for Yom Kippur, the 'Day of Forgiveness'.

And the Torah portion read this Shabbat contains a fitting message. It is the song “Ha'azinu” dictated by G-d through Moses warning the Jewish people that abandoning the ways of the Torah will bring misfortune and tragedy.

Its purpose is that when the Jews see how G-d predicted their follies and resultant calamities and nevertheless declares He will always love them, they will return to their true identities as His Chosen People.

The perfect message for the Shabbat of Return.

Five hours after getting reports of a suspicious bag at a John F. Kennedy International Airport parking lot, investigators determined the unattended package was not a threat and authorities began allowing vehicular traffic back to the area early Friday.

The bag did contain a powdery substance, but a hazmat team deemed it non-hazardous, said Pasquale DiFulco, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport.

The terminals, among eight in use at the airport, serve several international airlines, including Air France, plus Continental and Delta airlines.

Presidential Message for Yom Kippur

THe WHite House Press Release

Yom Kippur, 5767

Know therefore that the L-RD your G-d is G-d, the faithful G-d who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations…
Deuteronomy 7:9

On this most holy day of the Jewish calendar, Jews celebrate G-d’s goodness and reflect on their lives. Yom Kippur is a solemn time to express thanksgiving that the Almighty remembers the names of all His children. During this blessed Day of Atonement, Jewish people gather in synagogues, consider their deeds and actions, and celebrate as the sound of the Shofar proclaims the forgiveness and mercy shown by the Creator of life.
