The High Holidays can feel like a doorway that opens before a person is ready. The summer has barely loosened its grip, ordinary schedules are returning, and suddenly Jewish time begins to speak in a more serious voice. Rosh Hashanah arrives with sweetness, greeting cards, apples, honey, round challah, long synagogue services, and the sound of the shofar. Yom Kippur follows with fasting for many adults, white clothing in some communities, confession, grief, hope, and a closing service that can feel like the last light of a long day.
