Rosh Hashanah
2025-09-22 19:00 - 2025-09-24 19:00 (America/New_York)
Rosh Hashanah, the new year in the Jewish calendar, is a fall holiday. It is both a time of rejoicing and of serious introspection, celebrating the completion of another year while also taking stock of one’s life. Traditionally, Jews eat sweet foods — like apples and honey — to symbolize a sweet new year. The traditional greeting is Shana tova, meaning “Have a good year,” given during the days from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur
2025-10-01 19:00 - 2025-10-02 19:00 (America/New_York)
Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, when Jews ask forgiveness for the wrongs committed over the past year. Traditionally, Jews fast on this somber day and also refrain from other bodily indulgences. Yom Kippur falls 10 days after Rosh Hashanah and lasts one day. It begins at sundown and concludes at sundown the following day. The fast itself lasts 25 hours.

Sukkot
2025-10-07 - 2025-10-13
This holiday is known as the Festival of Booths. Beginning five days after Yom Kippur, Sukkot is named after the booths or huts (sukkot in Hebrew) representing the huts in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of wandering in the desert after escaping from slavery in Egypt.

Officer Webinar: Working Through Chapter Debt
2025-10-22 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
No chapter leader wants to spend time hassling brothers to pay their dues. Unpaid local dues hinder the chapter’s ability to function, and unpaid national dues prevent staff from providing great programs and critical services. Of course, prevention is a major part of the process, but WHEN you find yourself falling behind, what do you do? Learn strategies that work from chapter leaders who have been-there-done-that and learned important lessons. Register here.
