abor Day's past, school's in
and WHAM! Just when weary
moms were anticipating a
moment to relax, the new year
looms, and it's time to clean, cook,
shop, and prepare their hus-
bands, children and them-
selves for the holiday season.
True, non Jews regard
aish.com
Christmas and the secular
New Year as the "holiday sea-
son," but what do they know
about holiday seasons?
s,aauY t;
Christmas and New Year's
■
are over in a week, while the
Jewish holiday season, begin-
ning with Rosh Hashanah
and culminating with
Simchat Torah, takes in near-
ly a month of special days.
Observing the Days of
Awe should be more than
new clothes and briskets.
The preparations and partici-
pation can be so much more
when Jewish education takes
place to give meaning to the
apples and honey and shofar
blowing.
And where better to learn than at
wwvv.aish.com ? Aish HaTorah is an
organization dedicated to answering the
question, "Why be a Jew?" Founded in
1974 by Rabbi Noah Weinberg, it cur-
rently boasts 26 full-time branches,
including Detroit's, with programs in 80
cities worldwide. And www.aish.com
boasts 1 million visitors each month.
Why? Surf and see.
On the left side of the homepage,
locate and double click "holidays." From
there go to High Holidays. Now, you're
in a virtual library of articles. You can
read eight about Elul, 17 about Rosh
Hashanah, 16 on Yom Kippur, and 13
on growth and renewal.
When you're tired of reading, or
maybe the kids have arrived from
school, surf to Family Activities and
enjoy mazes, puzzles, word searches and

Yea,
If you're still wrestling with menus,
the recipe page has everything from
challahs to kugels. At the same page,
learn about the symbolic foods of the
holidays — not just the apples and
honey you already know, but also the
ones you may not, like leeks and beets,
pomegranates and sheep heads!
Save yourself postage and a trip to the
mailbox. Aish.com has free holiday
greetings cards, too.
Now, return to the Holidays page and
scope out Sukkot. Be sure to read
"Recycling Lulav and Esrog."
www.aish.com is an attractive Web
site, easy to navigate. There's a lot of
the reading-sort of media here, but
there's some video and audio, too.
Best of all, the content is interesting
and informative.
Wishing everyone fshanah tovah and
peace in 5763. ❑
