Greetings and Happy September! It’s a big month. Vacation is over—now we return from all the places we went this summer (you know, the gas station, the market, maybe the beach or a restaurant!). The traditional in person school year begins this month and the Autumn Equinox is just three weeks away. Plus the Jewish High Holy Days are just around the corner. As most Jews know, the High Holy Days are a clear indicator that there is one more heat wave in the offing. It inevitably is particularly hot on Yom Kippur, when we’re fasting and the hours seem to drag on. Somehow the blistering heat goes well with the day of atonement. For all my Christian friends, mark down Monday September 28th as a hot beach day with less traffic!
