Traditionally, we wish one another a “Happy New Year.” It is a warm and important custom to continue. And this year, in a changing world that can feel overwhelming, we can add another layer: the reminder that we are also invited to create a new year. Judaism offers us a framework for making this possible–through teshuvah (renewal of spirit and return to the holiest part of ourselves), tefillah (prayer and avodah, the work of the heart and doing the right thing), and tzedakah (acts of justice and generosity). These timeless practices remind us that while we cannot fix everything, we can take meaningful steps to make the world better—within us and around us. In nurturing ourselves and acting with intention, we become co-creators of a more whole and hopeful world.
This new booklet from Ritualwell is a companion for the sacred journey between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It offers poems, prayers, and prompts to help you co-create a year of meaning and hope.
Whether used for personal introspection or shared in community, these offerings will guide you in crafting a year that is not only happy, but deeply meaningful.
With your purchase of the booklet, you are warmly invited to join us for a special event on September 30 with mindfulness teacher Rabbi Jacob Staub: Meditation & Reflection for the Days of Awe.
This event will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
Rabbi Jacob Staub is the director of Evolve: Groundbreaking Jewish Conversations. He is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Philosophy and Spirituality at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where he continues to direct the Program in Jewish Spiritual Direction. He served as editor of The Reconstructionist 1983-89. He co-authored with Rebecca Alpert, Exploring Judaism: A Reconstructionist Approach.
