		High holiday services are not only abnormal: their abnormalities are turn-offs.
		The high holidays have their own tunes, which, while beautiful, are unknown to even some moderately observant Jews.
		In the majority of American synagogues, the high holiday experience consists primarily of sitting in your seat and listening to the cantor, with an occasional prayer you understand and can pray along with, and a small break for the usual pledge drive.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Overview: The High Holiday Perio
		Although the High Holidays themselves--the two days of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)--occupy three days only, they lie within a web of liturgy and customs that extend from the beginning of the preceding Hebrew month of Elul through Yom Kippur.
		The focus of this entire period is the process of teshuvah, or repentance, whereby a Jew admits to sins, asks for forgiveness, and resolves not to repeat the sins.
		The culmination of the High Holiday period occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance, which begin on 1 Tishri with Rosh Hashanah and end with Yom Kippur.

	Jeff Mandell on focusing on creation during the High Holidays instead of on ourselves. -- Beliefnet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the U.S., where the Jewish calendar competes with many others for prominence in our lives, the holidays always seem to sneak up on me as I'm immersed in the new school year, the onset of fall, the beginning of the primetime television season, the transition from baseball to football.
		The holidays are brief, usually discrete, respites in times of transition to pause and reflect.
		Standing on a walkway while a giraffe strained its neck for the few extra centimeters it needed to reach the long, lush grass near my feet; making extended eye contact with a wallabee; watching ring-tailed lemurs swing in the trees and hippos bathe, it was impossible to escape the majesty of the natural world.

		Although Hanukkah and Passover often get more press, possibly because of their proximity to widely-celebrated Christian holidays, Rosh Hashana and successive Yom Kippur are considered more important by many religious Jews, said Rabbi Garson Herzfeld of Winchester’s Beth El Congregation.
		Though Jews honor the holidays by attending services and preparing meals at home, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are not exactly festive holidays.
		Non-Jews can show respect for the holidays by being aware their Jewish friends have certain religious priorities during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Herzfeld said.

	Rossi Rant: High holidays
		For those, not in the know, this means essentially, that I don't drag my tuchas to the synagogue or as we say, shul, any time of year except Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
		I feel that since I manage to find my higher power in just about everything from a bubble bath to a cheese omelet, as long as I make it to shul for the opening of the books (Rosh Hashanah) and the closing of the books (Yom Kippur) I'll be passed on to the next grade.
		After having spent some of Rosh Hashanah on ground zero watching an army chaplain blow the shofar, I knew that Yom Kippur would be intense, to say the least.

		The high holidays and the academic year usually begin around the same time (Who’s idea was this?) and for the Jewish community at the U of M it’s a great way to start the year.
		(Sometimes the holidays coincide with the opening days of classes but there is a University policy that assures that students aren’t penalized for observing their religious holidays.) While many students go home — their own or friends’ — more than 2,000 students attend Hillel’s Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Humanistic high holiday services.
		Tickets are required but students get them for free (non students pay for them).

	Hungry for the High Holidays
		The High Holidays are upon us again, full of joy, spirituality, and, at least for me, a whole lot of discipline!
		And, even though this appreciation fades fairly quickly, it is a gift that Judaism gives to me, a gift I would not know otherwise, a gift we could all stand to receive.
		So, while the High Holidays mean so much more than just food, I believe that the relevancy of these ancient holidays lies in the purposeful meaning that each of us experiences during these holy times.
