36 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2020 | Yiddish Culture Club Here comes September and the Labor Day Weekend and the Jewish High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, starts at sundown on Sept. 18 and ends with Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement, 10 days later. Yom Kippur is a day of fasting and repentance with many people attending Temple services or observing at home. Of course this year attendance will be different with virtual services scheduled throughout the world. In past years, the YCC has always commemorated this special holiday with a Rosh Hashanah dinner and celebration. However, this year, please have your apples and honey ready at home to join in with us at our Zoom meeting on Sept. 9 at 7 pm when Perry Goldstein, who so brilliantly entertained us last December, will present a short program of Rosh Hashanah themed songs. Why apples and honey… Apples for their sweetness and reminder of apples from the Garden of Eden, and their belief apples have healing properties, and the honey again for the hope that the New Year will be sweet! We cannot get together to celebrate the holiday but look for a special surprise for all members on Thurs., Sept. 17. You do not even have to leave your house. Just check for a package at your front door. An email reminder will be sent and calls made as we get closer to the date. A warm welcome to our new members and best wishes to members who have had birthdays and anniversaries. Also Get Well wishes to those who are recuperating, and sadly, our condolences to members whose loved ones have passed away. For assistance with Zoom, contact Program VP, Diane Stone (951) 769-0130 or swmbo3@gmail.com. She'll guide you through, whether it's on a cell phone, laptop, or tablet… or you can even participate on a land-line.
