These Days Of Awe
In Jewish tradition, The Days of Awe are ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. These days are considered the holiest days on the Jewish calendar. They are a time for reflection, fasting, and repentance. During this time Jews ask forgiveness from those they have wronged and forgive those who have wronged them. On Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), Jews believe that the fate of the Jewish people will be sealed by God's judgment over them on this day.

We Are Witnesses Of The Harvest
Embedded in the narrative of the Feasts of Israel is a verse right in the middle of them all. It is a verse of separation. If you’re not careful, you might even be tempted to overlook it and ask what’s next. Don’t do that.

It’s about right now.
Antisemitism - A Personal Experience
We’ve had a year of incredible division and hatred. I just wrote the phrase, “unprecedented division,” but that wouldn’t be true. We’ve been here before. Whether it was Haman, Hitler, or Hamas, my people have always had an enemy seeking to destroy us. But this is my version, in my generation, where hatred rears its ugly head once again. I’ve felt it, personally.
