Yom Kipur 5782 (2021)

September 15, 2021 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 2 Comments

Tonight will be the 10th Day of Tishrei. This Hebrew date means it is actually the special day of Yom Kipur. This culminates the 40 days of introspection, repentance, and preparing ourselves to be better humans and to make the world a better place- with renewed vigor. (While the closing prayer of Yom Kipur is called Ne’ila, the locking or the closing of the gates, many Jewish folks consider the 7th day of Sukot- coming up in 12 days (Hoshana Raba) to be the true closing of the books of judgment by Hashem, the Supreme Being.)

Keep on Truckin’

June 14, 2018 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.

This week, we Jewish folks, read the portion of the Tora called “Shlach” (“Send”). An amazing story about sending 12 spies; leaders from each of the 12 tribes to discern the beauty and capabilities of “the Promised Land”, the Land of Israel.

Shabat Shabaton

September 29, 2017 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 6 Comments

Asara B’Tishrei. The 10th Day of Tishrei. That’s tonight’s (and tomorrow’s) Hebrew Date. But, you probably are more familiar with the traditional name of the holy day- Yom Kipur. Yom Kipur marks the end of 40 days of introspection, repentance, and preparation; rearranging our lives so we can be better humans, that we can make this world a better place- with renewed vigor.

7 years. This is # 1799.

June 1, 2017 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A. 3 Comments

It was 7 years ago today.

I had been sharing my take on sci-tech, business, health, and finance for decades before that day. Which meant my clients and friends were subjected to frequent (some would say incessant) newsletters, eMails, letters, publications- oh, you get it.

Another one?

Yes, it’s another holiday. Tonight starts Sukot- the full moon holiday of Tishrei. (By the way- did you catch the lunar eclipse this morning?) After finishing our 40 days of introspection, which culminated in the most solemn full day of fasting for Yom Kipur, we now have the holiday of joy. (Sukot has another name- the Time of Celebration.) Sukot is one of the three “festivals” delineated in the Tora, the Bible.

Framily (Sorry Sprint, I used it first!)

August 1, 2014 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.

I was a bad boy the other day. I got caught up in the drama of one of my client’s issues.

Don’t get me wrong, we all have drama. We all have issues. And, to be honest, I thrive on solving the drama of others. (I generally suck at dealing with the drama of my own life- unless it is life threatening- and, then, my training kicks in and I am in overdrive.) But, in this case, my client was trying to develop an explanation of the craziness that obtained in 2013, because the narrative will be crucial for our moving ahead with plans for the future.

Tamuz (Month 4 or Month 10- your choice!)

A new moon. That means there really is NO moon. On a moonless night, we can see all the stars (assuming it’s not going to be stormy or cloudy tonight- which now that I am proofing this today- is, indeed, going to be the case). And, in my religion, it’s the advent of a new month.

We’ve gotten it…The Tora!

June 4, 2014 Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.

We’ve been counting since the Pesach (Passover) Seder. 50 days after we were freed from Egypt (Mitzrayim- a place of narrow straits), we were waiting by Mount Sinai to receive the Tora. Sorry, folks, this was more likely NOT in the “Sinai Peninsula”, but found in Saudi Arabia, near an active volcano. As I wrote yesterday, we saw AND heard the words of the Supreme Being (you can get the idea by studying this rocket plant explosion in Henderson, Nevada).

Well, it’s really not today. It’s not even tomorrow, because this incarnation began 1 June 2010. Four years ago- but that was after a less frequent attempt to pen my blog.
