I am happy to report that Josh and I have made it through our first official "Days of Awe". We attended the evening and day services of both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We both fasted. A huge kiddos to my husband who actually fasted *way* longer than you are required to just so he could "Break the Fast" with me. (Much thanks!) After the entire ten day experience, I can honestly say that we found it insightful and inspiring. As a newly attending congregant, there were several moments during the services that I was lost, especially during the Rosh Hashanah day service. No one warned me that 95% of the service is all in Hebrew! But even as I was struggling to follow the flow of the service, the Cantor would sing a song or blessing so beautifully that I would forget I had no idea what she was singing or even what it was about. Our kids even participated in the High Holy Days. As a family, we attended the Tot Service of Yom Kippur....
