Shana tovah! 2025 / 5786

by Shoshana Flax
Sep 22, 2025 | Filed in Blogs

Rosh Hashanah 5786 begins tonight, and Yom Kippur begins the evening of October 1. Not to mention Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah, all in the coming weeks!

 

Wishing you a year of safe passage,

 

self-expression,

 

learning from the past,

 

problem-solving,

 

and joyful times together.

 

Shana tovah from the Horn Book!
