Atlanta Jewish Times Features Rabbi Jason Holtz on Rosh Hashanah
Rabbi Jason Holtz was recently featured in the Atlanta Jewish Times, writing about Rosh Hashanah. Here's an excerpt from what he shared.
So, what does it mean to be Jewish today? Part of being Jewish today involves some anxiety, just as I was anxious when the barista asked the Israeli where she was from. But we can’t let our Judaism just be in response to whatever is happening on the news. As I write this, it’s the middle of the month of Elul, the period leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. So being Jewish “today” means being a Jew entering the High Holy Days. It is a time to reflect on who we’ve been and who we want to be, as Jews and as people. May our reflections and our answers to those questions lead us to a good year ahead. Shanah Tovah.
