Shabbat shalom! Now that we’re heading into the meat of summer, stay cool and cover up when you’re under the hot sun! (That was the Jewish Mother voice in all of us coming out.)
Last September, we began a new column with Rabbi Charna Rosenholtz, a 12-part column exploring the spiritual and psychological wisdom of each Hebrew month. Drawing from Torah, Kabbalah, Mussar, and seasonal awareness, each installment highlights core themes, practices, and reflections to help ground us in sacred time. Join us on this monthly journey through the Jewish calendar. We entered Av, the eleventh month, last week, so be sure to check out this latest entry. Links to her earlier columns (months 1-10) are included.
Here are the stories from this week.
