Tonight is the first night of Rosh Hashanah and we're gonna party like it's 5771 with this fabulous link roundup!

To get the low-down on Rosh Hashanah, head over to My Jewish Learning for Rosh Hashanah 101.

You might also want to head over to jwa.org to check out our monthly feature, which illustrates how JWA resources can bie drawn upon to help guide us through the Days of Awe. There you can read and explore three High Holiday sermons that remind us, as Rabbi Leonard Gordon's sermon observes, that our knowledge of historical women who dared to make a difference can "inspire us in our own efforts to become our best selves."
