Shalom! We are entering the High Holy Day season with multiple holidays that are sprinkled through the next month. Our rabbi volunteer panelists will be focusing on their own observance and celebrations, and serving the communities in which they live and work. As a result, any questions submitted will be delayed, both in being assigned and in being answered. You are welcome to submit questions, but please be patient if you do; answers will not be immediate.

Of course, you are welcome to visit Jewish Values Online and view the over 800 questions and related answers online, or to read the Blog that will continue to be published during this period.

To all who are celebrating these holidays – our deep wishes for a meaningful holiday period, and Shanah Tovah Umetukah (a good and sweet year in 5778). For those people, and for others who do not celebrate these holidays, we extend warm wishes that the remainder of 2017 will be a time of blessings, leading into more of the same in 2018.

Thank you for your support and interest in Jewish Values Online.
