Elul
The month of Elul is the final month of the Jewish year, leading up to the High Holidays. Elul awakens us to the possibilities of the coming year and provides time for preparation and reflection. Join us throughout the month from August 27 to September 25 for social, educational and volunteer opportunities and more.
May we all have a Shana Tovah u'Metukah, a good and sweet New Year.
Awaken
Elul encourages reflection and prayer. This year, we ask: What is your wake up call? How do you prepare (mentally, spiritually, physically) for the High Holidays? We hope that you will share your voice with each other to help us all usher in a meaningful 5783.
Participate: Email Erin Dreyfuss to share your wake up call
Deadline: Midnight, Tuesday, August 23
Text submissions: 200 words or less
Video submissions: 60 seconds or less
Your wake up call will be shared in daily morning emails Sunday-Friday during the month of Elul, August 27-September 24.
