A year that is for something — as Rabbi Landau teaches it
By Rabbi Shalom Landau.
Rabbi Landau teaches that the blessing Rabbi Landau gives at the new year is concrete: health in the body, joy in the home, blessing in the work, nachas from one simcha to the next, and a year in which the doors finally open. It sits next to his question about time. A sweet year is not a slogan. It is a year in which there is still something to build.

The takeaway
Ask for a year you can build in, not only a year you can survive.
