Celebrate

The most universalist of Jewish holidays, Sukkot is the celebratory coda of Judaism's annual initiation rites.

More than anything else this year, I want permission to pray for peace.

Jewish tradition places its celebration of the new year at a precarious moment in the calendar.

In this season of forgiveness, let us not only name our shortcomings but amplify our virtues.

How do we let our hearts dance when they’re still so heavy? 

Each of us is a miniature sanctuary.

Counting the days from Passover to Shavuot.

Commemorating the foundational event in Jewish history makes Jews who they are.

From seder plates and Passover treats to jumping frogs and Haggadahs, step up your seder game this year.

Not to be confused with regular Purim, this minor holiday brings joy in late winter on Jewish leap years.

If a Jell-O shot is made from kosher wine, can it be used for Kiddush on Shabbat?
