Loved this unrolled version of my piece of @ExploringJud. One note: in this part about wearing a kittel, I refer to it as “varsity” in the original, which is fun (if you ask me).
🌇🌅🌇 Yom Kippur is so special because tallitot are also worn for Kol Nidre through Neilah the service that ends Yom Kippur – and closes the Book of Life for the whole year. You can also get a special white garment that you wear over your clothing, called a kittel.

Did you wake up today worrying about what to wear to shul for the HiHos? Don't fret, I joined our friends at @ExploringJud (a Conservative Movement project) and gave some solid advice. Shanah tovah! exploringjudaism.org/living/…

As someone who struggles with a ton of guilt, this is wonderful message as we near the High Holidays
When we have regrets about earlier choices, that recognition of our fallibility should inspire kindness towards others – and towards ourselves.

Every great experience requires preparation, and the High Holidays are no exception. Indeed, the preparations for the yamim nora’im (translated as The Days of Awe) begin a full month in advance with the onset of the month of Elul. Elul begins this Friday night. Elul Thread🧵

Rabbi Ilana Garber reveals her truth: To be totally honest, I haven’t fasted on Tisha B’Av in over 13 years. But that does not mean that Tisha B’Av needs to be just another day. In fact, here are my 9️⃣ ways to make the 9th day of Av meaningful that do not involve fasting: 🧵

Rabbi Deborah Silver writes about the new CJLS Teshuvah on calling Non-Binary Jews to the Torah as one of the authors: The Hebrew word shem does not reflect only what people call us. To be called by our name is to be acknowledged for who we truly are. 🧵

This is the official arm of the Conservative rabbis coming out against Dobbs: "Based on our understanding of Jewish tradition and religious freedom, The RA supports the right to full access for all those who need abortions to the entire spectrum of reproductive healthcare"
