By the time you receive this, Rosh Hashanah will have come and gone, and we’re just days away from Yom Kippur in the year 5781 on the Jewish calendar.

Quote: “Whether or not you’re Jewish, [Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie] explained, “there’s value in the spiritual and emotional exercise of honestly contemplating your actions this year, and what you want most out of your life.” — CNN.com
