Holidays

Judaism has a rich menu of holidays throughout the year. In fact, only one month has no Jewish holiday associated with it, the Jewish month of Cheshvan (roughly the month of November). Because of this, Cheshvan is known as “Mar Cheshvan,” or “bitter Cheshvan.”

The Jewish cycle of holidays is filled with joyous celebrations, some well-known and other less so. Our congregation celebrates the year cycle of holidays together with gusto–please join us as we navigate the Jewish holiday cycle!
