Dear Readers,
It seems like we were just preparing for Passover and yet, somehow, the High Holidays are here again. Hopefully we’ve become better people over the past year and we will continue to grow and cherish all that we’ve been blessed with. The Jewish New Year is the perfect time to gather with family to enjoy  special meals and sweet foods.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a day of  reflection, fasting, and prayers. We have many articles about these very special holidays and the traditions that accompany them.

This month we also celebrate Sukkot, one of the most joyous Jewish holidays. During Sukkot we recall the time the Israelites spent wandering in the desert. We’ve compiled some ideas of things to do with your children during this happy holiday.

We have letters from the Prime Minister of Israel, the President of the United States, rabbis and many other local politicians wishing you a healthy and happy New Year.
