Rosh Hashanah 2020/5781, as this episode is released, is less than a week away. But Wendie Bernstein Lash, Lex Rofeberg, and Estee Solomon Gray are ready to talk about Rosh Hashanah 2021/5782 already. Why? Well, next year's Rosh Hashanah will kick off a year-long observance called Shmitah (the Sabbatical year). And they think that if a year-long observance is really going to be meaningful, you gotta prep for it! See Elul #1-4, released in 2018, and/or Elul #5-8, released in 2019 (just scroll back through this podcast feed to find them), if you'd really like to dive deep into a variety of angles on the holi-month of Elul!
