The Curious History of Rosh Hashanah Cards in Yiddish
As the Jewish High Holidays approach, many of us are sending our new years' greetings via electronic means, whether email, text messages, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat or, of course, Twitter. But way before the electronic medium took over our lives, roughly between 1880 and 1980, almost all Jews in Europe, America and Palestine (later - Israel) sent their relatives and friends "shone-toyves", or new year's cards.

Tel Aviv Diary: Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Is a Time for Taking Stock

Remembering My Father, Elie Wiesel, on the Eve of Rosh Hashanah
This time of year was a difficult time for my father. Did each September - or more precisely, each month of Elul in the Hebrew calendar - did each one get progressively more difficult for him as he got older? Or did I just get more attuned to his feelings as I got older? Perhaps it was both.

For many of us, and for Americans of all backgrounds, this Rosh Hashanah's reflection takes on new importance in the wake of Charlottesville.

Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs (JACPAC) is a pro-Israel PAC with a domestic agenda. We support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and advocate for reproductive health and the separation of religion and state and incorporate other issues of importance to the Jewish community, including gun violence prevention and climate change. In addition to providing financial support for U.S. Senate and House campaigns, JACPAC educates our membership with outreach events designed to inform and activate their participation in the political process.

|
Federal law requires political committees to report the name, mailing address, occupation and employer for each individual who contributed to JACPAC. Maximum contribution per person may not exceed $5,000 per calendar year. According to law, JACPAC cannot accept corporate contributions. Membership, gifts, or other payments to JACPAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
