1. What Are The High Holidays?
Coming in for Landing
Think of your year as a kind of space odyssey: You take off, fly around—and occasionally get lost... Sonner or later you gotta touch base |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
2. Elul
Reconnect
You're coming in for landing. Home base is sending out a clear, powerful signal. It's Elul, the last month of the Jewish year... |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
3. Rosh Hashanah
Re-entry
It's the day that the Grand Programmer of All Things sits back to consider whether this universe is really worth playing and then reboots the system... |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
4. The Ten Days
Return
"Repentance" implies that you were bad and now have to become good. Teshuvah means simply to return—to rediscover your true self and return to there... |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
5. Yom Kippur
Repair
Your spaceship has been landed and towed into the hangar for repair. But how do you fix a soul? |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
6. The Sukkah
Rehearse
An all-encompassing, embryonic, virtual world where whatever you do is a mitzvah... |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
7. The Four Kinds
Reunite
So now, get networked—with your Arba Minim ("Four Kinds") device |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
8. Shemini Atzeret
Rejoice & Refuel
G‑d is like a king who hosts a seven-day party. When everyone is about to leave, he holds back his closest friend and says, "Stay another day and we'll party with whatever is left." |  |
