This High Holiday season, the world is born anew.

We have the power as our liturgy tells us over and over again to change our reality with three things: Teshuvah repentance and repair; Tefillah prayer and ritual; and Tzedakah charity and acts of justice. We invite you to do this important work with us! Donate to Keshet, get involved in our Get Out the Vote campaign, and use our High Holiday resources to help build the world of belonging and equality we all deserve.
