HERE IS A LIST OF THE HOLIDAYS CELEBRATED BY MOST JEWS during the upcoming year starting with Rosh Hashanah at the end of September. As I continue to post information about how our household has and/or will observe these traditional days as part of our ethnic heritage, I hope that my colleagues here will read the stories and information I post with AN OPEN HEART AND MIND. We say a lot here at the Monastery about not making assumptions. Perhaps it is good for us to look at one another’s celebrations and observances with a NEW SPIRIT of Understanding and Peace:
