High Holiday Guide

Elul 5784, Tishrei 5785 / September 4 - November 1, 2024

Introduction

It's no accident that, in one way or another, virtually every Jew participates in the holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.

The significance of the Festivals of the Hebrew month of Tishrei are so profound as to affect every Jewish soul, regardless of one's degree of knowledge or commitment to Judaism.

Tishrei is the richest month in the Jewish Calendar commencing with Rosh Hashana, which begins the "Days of Awe," through Sukkot and Simchat Torah - the "Season of our Rejoicing" - these holidays set the tone for the entire year to come.

This "Holiday Guide" sets forth many of the practical observances, as well as the inner significance, of these dynamic Yomim Tovim (Jewish Holidays).

We hope it will serve you well, and provide inspiration in every aspect of daily life, especially in the next 60 days.
