Tis the Season

This year, our Jewish and Muslim sisters and brothers are celebrating big holidays at the same time. Sweet New Year wishes to Jews just wrapping up the two days of Rosh Hashanah ("head of the year" in Hebrew) and embarking on the days of instrospection and repentance before the fast of Yom Kippur (Sept 27-28). And to Muslims: a happy Eid al-Fitr! ("festival of fast-breaking") -- three days of celebration following the Ramadan fast. Good wishes to all, and may your spiritual journeys be a blessing to all.
