The Holidays Of The Month
Tishrei is a very colorful month. Every hue of Jewish life is represented – Solemn Days, Fast Days and Days of Rejoicing. It is not a coincidence that the first month of the year has “samples” of every shade and color of Jewish life, for these “samples” are intended to give us practical guidance for the rest of’ the year.

Finally, in order to know how to lead our lives to comply with G-d’s wishes, we have Shemini Atzeret and
