HOLY DAYS (VII)
– Apples and Honey, and Life Begins in Fall

I wanted to weave these two symbols of Rosh Hashanah and the autumn light as it is here in Oak Park, Illinois. But as we delight in a cyclical new beginning and the natural wonders, we keep in mind that Rosh Hashanah is about making moral and ethical choices and staking out history. Sometimes an apple is not just an apple.
