- Tell your High Holyday story.
a. Share a story about someone you’re remembering.
b. What is special to you about the High Holydays?
c. What value has been passed down through the generations in your family?

Please send all submissions to theelulproject@gmail.com by Tuesday, Sept. 12.
What is Elul?Elul is the name of the Hebrew month before the High Holydays. During the month of Elul, we get ready to launch our new Jewish year on the right foot:
- We take a hard (yet compassionate) look at our actions from the previous year.
- We seek and offer forgiveness.
- We give tzedakah (charity, justice) to the places in our world that need our attention.
The Elul Project is a collaboration between Congregation Rodfei Zedek and The Jewish Enrichment Center.
