Reyshit Khakhmah

Reyshit Khakhmah ([4:7] “The beginning of wisdom is, Get wisdom: therefore use all of your means to acquire understanding.”), was written for the jubilee celebration of Town and Village Synagogue, where Bill, Cheryl, Judith and I were members. T & V is a special place for me, since it was through the synagogue that I met my wife, and we were married there. This text captures succinctly what I feel is a prominent ideal shared by that synagogue community.
