Shana Tova, 5771

Calendars both mark the passage of time and help people coordinate their activities. Labor Day is late this year, and the Jewish new year, Rosh HaShana is early, so this week has an unusual coincidence.

The Hebrew Calendar has a complicated relationship with the secular calendar.

Here's hoping that the Author of Peace has peace in store for the coming year, and that the year is a sweet one for you all.
