Dear non-Jewish friends, The Jewish High Holy Days are coming up.  Please do not schedule meetings, parties, and events on the following dates:

Between Friday September 18th at sundown and Sunday September 20th at sundown in observance of Rosh Hashanah.

Between Sunday September 27th at sundown to Monday September 28th at sundown. in observance of Yom Kippur.

Between Friday, October 2nd at sundown and Sunday, October 4th at Sundown in honor of the first days of the Festival of Sukkot.

Between Friday, October 9th at sundown and October 11th at sundown in observance of the end of Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah.

Curious how to greet your Jewish loved ones throughout these holidays and festival?  (This is ESPECIALLY important this year because so many of us feel alone-- wish your friends a happy holiday!)  Hebrew and English variations are all appropriate.

“Shana Tova!” (”Happy New Year!”) -- especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.

“l’Shana Tova u’metuka!” (”Have a sweet and happy new year!”)  Similar to the above, especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.

“Chag Sameach” (“Happy Holiday”) -- appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah

“Have a Meaningful Day”  -- appropriate for Yom Kippur

“Have an easy/meaningful fast”  -- appropriate for Yom Kippur, but only if you know that the person is choosing to fast this year.  O

Sukkot VI. 20 Tishri 5780.

ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם שככה לו בעולמו

Blessed are you, God, ruler of the universe, that such as these are in your world.

Not the usual Sukkot blessing, but it was in the Chicago Botanic Gardens and I wasn’t eating or dwelling in there. So I just said a blessing for the incredible beauty and miracles in the garden.

Chag sameach, everyone!!!!!

Shavuot ended yesterday here, but I know that for a lot people it is still Shavuot (so, this is still topical), and anyway, procrastination’s never stopped me before, so.

Anyway, I’ve decided that my contribution to jumblr this Shavuot will be this:

To all the people from past and present who’ve tried to claim that Rut and Naomi are romantic (which, for the record, is so weird even just on its own) —here is every time in the megillah that Naomi refers to Rut as ‘ביתי/beetee’ - my daughter.

Or, actually, in the first case, בנתי׳/bnotai - my daughters cause she’s talking to Orpah there too.

Hope you all had a good holiday if it’s over for you, and Ḥag Sameach if you’re still celebrating!! <333
