We’re about to enter the most holy time of the Jewish calendar.
The Jewish New Year is a time of celebration and reflection. David Kurzmann with the Jewish Federation of Detroit mentions many will not go to work and they will keep their kids home from school to observe.
“Of course, it’s wonderful to reach out to Jewish friends and family and wish them a happy, healthy, and peaceful new year,” Kurzmann said. “And we will exchange those greetings among ourselves in the coming days, in hopes of better days.”
It’s about introspection, how they conducted themselves the past year, and how they could have done better.
Just ten days after Rosh Hashana is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
