Elul

Monday, August 25-Monday, September 22

One of the most meaningful gifts of the Jewish calendar is the month of Elul — a time set aside for reflection, renewal, and reconnection as we prepare for the High Holy Days. To help make this season of introspection as meaningful as possible, we’re offering a range of programs designed to support and inspire you throughout the month.
