RENEWAL, Limmud High Holiday Day Publication by Limmud Festival

The theme represents the way that many people are feeling going into the new year, hoping for an opportunity to start afresh, especially after what has been an unexpected and, at times, difficult year.

We received an incredible number of submissions, so many that we were hard pressed to choose between them. We would like to thank everyone who submitted thoughtful writings and poetry, beautiful art, and delicious-looking recipes. Limmud really would not be Limmud if it were not made by you, as this publication demonstrates. We hope that these musings can take you into a happier, healthier, and sweeter new year for 5781.
