#highholydays — Public Fediverse posts

"Don’t panic, but it’s #Elul now. It’s time to begin shifting our mindsets from the lazy days of late summer to the clarity of the #Jewish #HighHolyDays. Though, in my humble opinion, shopping and commercialism should not be integral to that process, treating yourself to a new journal, calendar, candle, card, home decor or something else can help mark that transition.

So whether you feel the need to prepare mentally or spiritually, or just want a little more #NewYear’s cheer around the house, read on for 19 products you need to get in the High Holiday spirit. Shana (almost) tovah!"

Another Jewish women-owned business, providing stylish scarves and hats and jewelry, if you want a snazzy new look for the holidays.

"...In December 2012, Wrapunzel was born. It was a wintery night during Andrea Herzog’s family reunion, and the relatives were brainstorming about what to do with the funky hair wrapping videos she had online. Her writing and tutorials had gained massive popularity over the past year on her personal blog, and it was obvious that the world needed a community devoted solely to the art of hair wrapping. After much thought, the idea of a website featuring head wrapping women from all over the world was agreed upon. “Wrapunzel ~ Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hair Wrapping” began that night, and the rest is history!"

Tomorrow is Rosh Hashanah, and I am currently working on my menu and doing what prep I can tonight.

I generally don't do much with my religion, but the antisemitism lately has been so damn rampant, I've decided I'm just going to Jew harder.

Anyway, my current plans for food are pot roast, onion noodle kugel, apple and honey challah, and homemade apple cider.

Any good ideas what I can add to this? We have a decent pantry and I don't want to go shopping-- so just hit me with what you've got and I'll find something that works.

A perfect #poem by Joseph Fasano for #roshhashana from James Crews wonderful new book “wonder of small things.” #poetry #highholydays
LETTER
Tonight, as you walk out
into the stars, or the forest, or the city, look up
as you must have looked before love came, before love went, before ash was ash.
Look at them: the city's mists, the winters.
And the moon's glass you must have held once in the beginning.
That new moon
you must have touched once in the waters, saying change me, change me, change me. All I want is to be more of what I am.

Any other non-practicing Jews inherently feel The Guilt around this time of year?

No? Just me?

Bo helping me with high holy day preparation. There will be lots of beautiful poetry. Come join us for Rosh Hashanah! Link in my Linktree in bio. #highholidays #highholydays #roshhashana #poetry

2/ SO - this year, we will gather together in community to revisit some of the profound themes of these holy days - such as what is being birthed within us on the day of the world's birth, and what forgiveness really means in the context of Judaism. (It is quite different than how our dominant culture imagines forgiveness.)

Each teaching will involve contemplative and soulful text study and poetry that speaks to our themes, as well as discussion and music.

We will be joined by my dear colleague, Cantor Fran Chalin, and for Kol Nidre, cellists Mary Artmann and Monica Scott. (We will be streaming live from our living room on Kol Nidre!)

I hope you will consider joining us. See all the details at the link below. Everyone is welcome. #HighHolyDays #Mazeldon #judaism #roshhashanah

1/This year, we are doing something different for our High Holy Day Gatherings online.

We are calling it High Holy Days ReImagined.

It's been a really rough bunch of years. My sense is that many of us are exhausted, looking for comfort, and that less is more.

To be honest, I'm feeling the same way, which is why I meditated on what form of gathering for the High Holy Days felt right this year.

The insight that kept coming to me was: simply do what you love, do it simply without the traps of expectations, and speak to the heart. (Cont’d) #HighHolyDays #Mazeldon #judaism #roshhashanah
