What If I Can't Do Rosh Hashana Myself?

KAVANA CARDS

Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. The High Holidays. When families and communities come together to strengthen our Jewish connection. We've been doing that for thousands of years.

But we have a challenge this year. Shuls aren't functioning as normal. Gatherings are limited. Some of us are homebound.

No one has ever had a High Holidays like this before.

Kavana Cards are here to help. 

Kavana means intention, focus, concentration. Kavana Cards are a set of impactful do-it-yourself High Holiday experiences. They present some of the key prayers and traditions of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur in a way that is meaningful and easily doable, for anyone of any background.

These cards are not a replacement for attending shul, reading the prayers or hearing the Shofar. For those who can do all of those, the cards may help enhance the experience. For those who are unable to do the above, the cards will give a simple way to connect. 

You can spend 10 minutes on each, or you can spend an hour. They can be experienced by young and old, alone or in a group, as an inner conversation with yourself or a meaningful discussion with others. The point is to have a soulful moment, connect with the essence of the day and bring it to life.

As Jews, we've seen a lot in our long history. Experience has taught us that every challenge can be turned into an opportunity. Let's make this challenge a catalyst for inner growth and deepening our connection to our Jewish soul. Let's do High Holidays better than ever, and bring down a year of healing and joy to the entire world.

These cards are free. Share them, print them, and use them in good health!

Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Moss
