We encourage members of our community to take time this month to learn about their history and acknowledge their contributions.

Rosh Hashanah begins on the evening of Wednesday, October 2, and ends at sundown on Friday, October 4. It's a time of self-reflection and repentance, often called the "Day of Judgment," where G-d assesses the past year's actions and shapes the upcoming year's fate. The blowing of the shofar, symbolizing spiritual awakening, and special prayers and meals are key observance elements.

Wishing a meaningful Rosh Hashanah to our UBalt Jewish community and readers. May this season bring spiritual growth, forgiveness, and peace to all observers.

Join Diversity and International Services, Denit Honors, the Hoffberger Center, and the History Club for a curated tour of “Across Asia: Arts of Asia and the Islamic World” and the “Objects of Curiosity,” followed by lunch at Mt.
