L’shanah Tova! A new year will be upon us in a few weeks. And with that, my favorite holiday. Bring out the apples and honey!
I thought I’d take a moment, as I have in year past, to highlight some DC-area events leading up to and including the High Holidays! Many of these events come from the J-Connect High Holidays page, which also includes additional information for people looking to celebrate in the area. On a separate page, they’ve created a list of streaming synagogue services! Feel free to leave other events in the comments.
