Teaching kids about the soul-work of the High Holy Days
How many of us have heard that Rosh Hashanah is late this year?
The High Holy Days always seem to be early or late and never really come on time. When we talk about timing, we also are acknowledging how unprepared we may feel to engage in cheshbon hanefesh, the working on the soul, that the holidays require of us. We often struggle with the intensity of teshuvah, of return, and making different decisions. And it may seem natural to spare the children in our lives from this challenging work, and shield them from the less perfect version of ourselves that becomes apparent through deep introspection.

New faces of 2019
We introduce eight new local rabbis
This year, we welcome eight new rabbis to northern New Jersey and Rockland County.
Over the summer, the new rabbis have joined synagogues across our area, some as senior or solo rabbis, some as educators, some in more than one role. Here are brief profiles of each; as other new rabbis move here, or as we hear about them, we will write additional profiles.
