Summary |
When you see this at Costco, you know that the Days of Awe, the High Holidays, will soon be upon us.
All kidding aside, we are right in the middle of the month of Elul, the prelude to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The shofar sounds each day (except Shabbat) and we recite Psalm 27 to remind us that the holidays are near.
The following books may help you on your spiritual journey through Elul and on to the holidays of Tishrei. And don’t forget that you can dip into the Mahzor at any time for inspiration and preparation.
Items marked with a * will be on display in the Library.
*Agnon, S.Y.: Days of Awe: being a treasury of traditions, legends and learned commentaries concerning Rosh Ha-Shanah, Yom Kippur and the days between
