Yes, the holidays are late this year…but they are coming.
It is the middle of September and I have yet to dunk one piece of apple in a bowl of honey. How about you?
The holidays are late because last year, as a part of the regular calculations to ensure that the Hebrew intercalcualted solar/lunar calendar stays on time (Passover always happens in the Spring) we added an extra month. You can learn more about the Hebrew Calendar here.
Even though they are late, I thought that you might appreciate a little head start on getting ready.
