People of Israel, I invite you to join
me in observing the two Shabbats, the
Shabbat of Rosh Hashanah and the Shabbat
before Yom Kippur. I want to tell you
that last year these were two Shabbats
that I took upon myself. I said, "I'm
going to observe them, me and the
hostages who will be with me, and I'm
going to observe them so that by virtue
of this, perhaps I will be released."
And guess what? I am home.
So, I invite you to join me in keeping
these two Shabbats. It is a Shabbat of
special merit, of closeness to the
creator of the world, and for me, it is
also a Shabbat of answered prayers. So,
who [music] knows? Love you all, and may
we all have a good year.
