Returning to My Roots

I have spent the past two weeks “returning to my roots” both figuratively and literally with two wonderful Shabbat dinners, a Challah Bake with Jake Cohen, a Commonpoint Queens Board Meeting, and a women's networking event at UJA-Federation NY. As I reflect on these action packed last two weeks, I feel enormous gratitude for these opportunities, a renewed, reinvigorated sense of community, and I am reminded that one of the core tenets of Judaism to me, is that we are never alone. 

We are never alone in celebration, observance, or in mourning. Whether you are dancing the hora, observing Shabbat, or participating in a minyan, part of a minyan, you are part of something larger. 

I felt compelled to share my feelings as the past few months have brought certain challenges and risks in my personal and professional life, during which I have often felt like I was alone in my thoughts and feelings. A. Resnick Communications is my first solo venture, and while it certainly has been very exciting, I have also felt unsure of myself and quite frankly a little scared. 

However, after the past two weeks of meeting new people and reconnecting with others, I realize I have so many people in my life to bounce ideas off of, introduce to others in my network, or just grab coffee with to get out of the apartment. So, all of this is to say, we are not alone, we are part of something larger than ourselves, and if you ever want to or need to connect, I am here.
