Cutler Bay, FL -Rabbi Yossi Wolff and members of the Chabad of Cutler Bay and Homestead found themselves scrambling an hour before the start of sundown services to find a new place to worship Friday. “This was on the floor; it's a cover to the ark,” Rabbi Wolff tells CBS 4's Gwen Belton. “That thrown on the floor is a desecration right before the high holidays.”

As the sound of rain makes pitter patter noises at my window, and it conjures up an image of little feet in padded slippers, pajama bottoms, steaming cups of hot cocoa, wind, howling outside, thunder so loud it makes you bolt upright in the middle of the night, while you were having a sweet sweet dream, lighting that strikes so fast and so bright, for a second you are not sure if it is day or night. Almost like a pilot that can't tell the difference between sky and ground. Fingers tapping at the keys so fast they are getting ahead of themselves and tripping over the words. Excitement building inside of you, this bubble that grows and grows and feels like its gonna burst. Shivering with excitement, shivering with cold, shivering with lack of sleep. So many things colide together to form one great picture.

Walking down Kingston with friends, so happy to be in their company once again. Hearing a language that is foreign, yet so so familiar. Out of place, yet belonging all the same. The scent in the air, that feeling, that knowledge that something is about to happen. The human mechanism that tries to prepare for a blow, and yet can never duck quick enough. It is coming, oh yes, and we can't stop it. These times, they are almost upon us. You know of what I speak. You know, because you think about it too.

On a recent field trip with south Tel Aviv’s Camp Neve Eliezer, eighty children, all clad in shorts, sandals, and matching baseball caps, clapped and laughed at the antics of “Itchele,” a character in a multi-media presentation who suffers deeply from hay-fever. His grandmother, a puppet named Rachel, is looking for him so she can give him honey cake; honey, she says, has healing properties. A film shows Itchele running through a honey farm, about to open a hive bare-handed.

“Nooooooo!” scream the children.

As Jewish men, women and children head to synagogue this weekend for the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, hundreds of Chabad-Lubavitch centers around the world will be welcoming people from all walks of life during the High Holidays. For one center in the greater Orlando, Fla., area, the open-doors, seat-for-everyone approach is even preceding the opening of a permanent location.
