What does Rosh Hashanah ask of us beyond marking the start of a new year?

In this Elul teaching, Cantor Keith Miller reflects on the words “Hayom harat olam,” often translated as “today the world was created.” But Jewish tradition teaches that Rosh Hashanah marks not the first day of creation, but the sixth, the day humanity was created.

As we prepare for the High Holy Days, may we remember that the new year is also an invitation to renew our responsibility to the world around us, recognize God’s presence, and help create a world rooted in greater justice, compassion, and peace.

Shana Tova.

When a family loses a child, there’s no script for what comes next — but our clergy just wrote one.

Rabbi Nicole Guzik and Rabbi Erez Sherman have co-authored Grieving a Child: A Companion Guide for Clergy, alongside Denise Mandel-Becker, Lori Weinstock and the late Milo Mandel — seven years in the making, and believed to be the first comprehensive Jewish pastoral guide devoted to helping clergy support a family through the death of a child.

The project began over two decades ago, after Denise’s son Jared passed away and her father, Milo, saw firsthand how even experienced clergy struggled to know what to say — or what not to. That question became a 213-page resource: sample eulogies, prayers, guidance for siblings, self-care for clergy, and poetry woven throughout.

“There is no greater responsibility than showing up for a family who has lost a child.” — Rabbi Guzik

How do we prepare ourselves for the High Holy Days in a way that feels meaningful and intentional?

In this Elul teaching, Rabbi Gavriella Kornsgold looks to the six orders of the Mishnah as a framework for reflection, inviting us to consider what sustains us, how we spend our time, our relationships, what needs repair, where we can bring more holiness into our lives, and how we can become our truest selves.

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, may we use this season to reflect, prepare, and make space for the year ahead.

What if becoming who we’re meant to be is a process, not a finished product?

In this Elul teaching, Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson reflects on the ancient teaching that creation is renewed each and every day. Elul reminds us that we, too, have the opportunity to grow, change, and participate in who we are becoming.

As we prepare for the High Holy Days, may we ask ourselves: Who do we want to be? What parts of ourselves do we want to center, elevate, and carry into the new year?

May this Elul be a time of renewal, reflection, and blessing. Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson
