High Holiday Resources

Lehrhaus, The Jewish Education Project, Adamah and more share resources to ring in the Jewish New Year.

The High Holidays invite us to take stock of the year behind us and consider the future we hope to create together. As we enter 5787, we return to questions that have guided Jewish life for generations: How have we grown? Where have we fallen short? What lessons will we carry into the year ahead?

In that spirit, we are pleased to share a collection of resources from grantees in our Jewish Community portfolio. Rooted in Jewish wisdom and informed by contemporary Jewish experience, their offerings engage many of the themes that emerge during this season and offer fresh perspectives on the work of renewal. We hope these resources enrich your High Holiday practice and provide inspiration as you enter the new year.
