#Rosh HaShana

[jewish-culture-is]

Jewish culture is going to chabad for rosh hashana because you don't have any Jewish family who live near you but being really excited to meet more Jews in your area

What is a cat meow in the middle of the night if not a desperate wail to be noticed by a powerful and mysterious yet strangely parental being?

Now let us blow the shofar.

Jewish Holidays coming up but poorly described:

Apple & honey industry celebration day

Be like an angel day (no food allowed)

Shake a lemon with cellulite at G-d in a hut

Holiday we celebrate because we said so

We finish the holy-book-holiday

Here's a photo of an observant Yemenite Jew blowing a shofar. This photo was taken in the 1930s in the Land of Israel.

Shabbat Shuva is drawing near (it's already Shabbat in some places of the world), so here are few words about the concept of Teshuvah in Judaism.

"Teshuvah" is often mistranslated and misrepresented as "repentance", but that's not what it means. If I were to use an English word to try and encapsulate what Teshuvah means, I'd use "homecoming" and "reunion".

"Teshuvah" comes from the Hebrew root word meaning "to return".

There's a concept in Judaism of life being a long path we walk, and sometimes we stumble off the path or walk off of it deliberately, but we always have a chance to retrace our steps or find our way back onto the path.

Ideally, we walk the path of good deeds and righteous actions. But we're human, and sometimes we lose our way. Hashem knows that, which is why we're always able to get back on track. It's not a race, just as long as you're on the path.

Doing "Teshuvah" isn't beating yourself up for getting lost. If you just dwell on your past missteps, you'll never get back on track. You have to take the steps to return, and Hashem will gently guide you back on your way. Hashem doesn't want you to self-flagellate. He wants you to return.

I wish everyone the best luck on their paths during these Ten Days of Teshuvah, and a Gmar Chatima Tova.

Try making our pomegranate sorbet for Rosh Hashana

You don’t need an ice cream maker to whip up a batch of this delightful frozen dessert. And it’s perfect for the Jewish New Year.
