Shabbat

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.

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

What if the central narrative of the Jewish people had been different?

Different ways to welcome and part from someone on the Jewish Sabbath — in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and more.

While kiddush is traditionally recited over wine, other beverages can be used.

Like our ancestors in Egypt, we may feel lost without our patriarchs and matriarchs. But a new era is underway.

As we prepare for the High Holidays, we are reminded that the essence of faith lies in the power of imagination.
