Mom's Honey Cake with Apple Confit
Honey cake is traditionally eaten for Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year—the honey’s sweetness symbolizes our wishes for a sweet year. This is my mother's recipe, which she makes in Israel, freezes, and sends to me in the mail.
Dulce de Manzana (Apple Preserves)
Turkish Sephardic Jews serve this sweet apple preserve as they wish their family and friends a sweet new year.
Creating a Culture of Kindness
I sat down with Dr. Bruce Powell and Dr. Ron Wolfson via Zoom to discuss their significant new book, Raising A+ Human Beings: Crafting a Jewish School Culture of Academic Excellence and AP Kindness.

Ensuring the Sacred and the Ethical in Sacred Partnership
The URJ offers resources that address the challenges of building sacred partnerships and leading our institutions at this moment in time.

Many of these are offered in partnership with movement partners.
