Peeling a Pomegranate — The Newsletter!
Today was the launch of the new Peeling a Pomegranate newsletter. It’s an evolution of the Rosh Chodesh guides that I published for several years, but now the focus is more clearly on helping people (you!) live a life that is more connected to Judaism and Jewish practice.
Subscribe to the free Newsletter!
The Peeling a Pomegranate Newsletter will be published each month about 10 days before the start of each Jewish month. The newsletter will include practices and ideas from the month that we’re exiting, and a focus for the month we’re entering. In particular, I’m focusing on the physical objects that seem to define each month. So even if you don’t feel like Judaism is a part of your every day life, I hope you’ll find the newsletter relevant.
Tishrei, is the head of the Jewish spiritual year and the object we’re exploring this month is the Shofar! There’s actually a lot of objects that seem to define Tishrei (shofars, sukkahs, lulavs, etrogrim, ushpizin flags, food — or the lack of it), but the Shofar is also a totemic item for Jews, so we’re focusing on that in the newsletter.
The newsletter also contains dates for upcoming public events and other goodies. You can check out the Tishrei newsletter in you case you missed and subscribe, it’s free! I hope you’ll subscribe and tell me what you think!
What physical objects do you associate with Tishrei?

Mini Manifesto:
Culture: I am fascinated by both culture on most levels. I mostly focus on American culture and what makes us who we are as a country, but I'm also intrigued by sub-cultures in the USA and the growing global cultural trends.
Technology: Technology is one of the strongest drivers of cultural and even spiritual changes in the last 100 years, and possibly the next 100.
I love the new newsletter, and really appreciate the wonderful changes and all the effort you put into this, and into the guides. They are very helpful for me.
