HOLY DAYS (I-?)
– Not Holidays
I love the days set apart for joy, relaxation, reflections, study, aspirations, remembrance, and mourning. While structured in commandments and traditions for celebration and observance that make us feel rooted, they stimulate and inspire our Jewish sensibilities with rituals, food, words, melodies, and beautiful objects for performing the ritual mitzvot. Time is set aside for community and tuning into something larger than ourselves. Yet, through the power of symbolism, they leave space for individual experiences and reflections.
