I'm taking a break from blogging to prepare for and welcome our High Holidays which are: New Year (Rosh Hashana) , Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and - the less solemn, more joyous 'agricultural' holiday of Sukkot (dwelling in the sukkah, celebrating Harvest).
Last but not least, Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Tora (celebrating the love for the Thorah : the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) by parading and dancing with it.
Yom Kippur (the day of Atonement) is the holiest day on the jewish calendar - a day of Awe, of Fasting, Praying, Remembering our departed loved ones, seeking Forgiveness from God and our fellows. It's a day that requires both physical and spiritual efforts.
Wishing you the very Best! God willing, I'll hopefully resume blogging by mid - end of October.
