Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, is a fall holiday, taking place at the beginning of the month of Tishrei, which is actually the seventh month of the Jewish year (counting from Nisan in the spring). It is both a time of rejoicing and of serious introspection, a time to celebrate the completion of another year while also taking stock of one’s life. Rosh Hashanah itself is also known as Yom Hadin or the Day of Judgment, on which God opens the Books of Life and Death, which are then sealed on Yom Kippur.
Creek PVC Coffee
Friday, September 11, from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., please join us for the PVC Coffee meet-up. Come grab a cup of jo, some treats, and enjoy some friendly conversation. You can find us in front of the Early El gates, directly after drop-off. Hope to see you all there! -

International Dot Day
International Dot Day is celebrated annually on September 15. The Dot, by Peter Reynolds, has been adopted by art teachers worldwide to honor the uniqueness and creativity in all of us. To celebrate this day, we will all dress in as many (polka) dots as we can on Tuesday, September 15. Feel free to get creative at home if you don't have anything. You could color dots and safety-pin them onto clothing, or color on an old T-shirt.Contact: Brannon Via -

The culmination of the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) is the fast day of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). This is the day at the conclusion of which, according to tradition, God seals the Books of Life and Death for the coming year. The day is devoted to communal repentance for sins committed over the course of the previous year. Because of the nature of Yom Kippur and its associated rituals, it is the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar. -
