This year, the Jewish High Holy Days will be particularly poignant for many. The midpoint of the 10 days spanning Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur falls on October 7, marking the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack that resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and triggered ongoing conflict in Gaza.
“This year, for many, the emotions will be extraordinarily powerful,” noted a source. This period is described as a “very difficult time” for U.S. Jews by the Chicago Tribune, highlighting the overlap between these significant religious observances and a somber anniversary.
