The High Holidays is the 10 day period of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) through Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). This year, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Wednesday, September 20th and Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Friday, September 29. During the Rosh Hashanah we eat sweet foods (especially apples and honey!), hear the shofar blasts, enjoy family meals together, and go to synagogue for special prayers. On Yom Kippur, we fast all day and pray in synagogue, repenting for things we have done the past year that we regret. For more information on this and other Jewish holidays, please check out

Social Action
Tzedakah in June is going to support The Lupus Research Alliance, a wonderful organization that is able to donate 100% of proceeds to research. We are putting together a team to participate in the Lupus Walk, "Team Ida" named after our member Marvette Likier's mother, of blessed memory, who struggled with this, as of now, incurable condition. Click on the link to donate and/or join us to walk. It's a fun, kid-friendly event at Met Life Stadium. https://www.generosity.com/faith-religion-fundraising/walk-for-hunger
