Seasonal transitions bring Rosh Hashanah and autumn crafts

As the summer season transitions into autumn, various cultural and personal activities are highlighted. The upcoming Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, marks the transition from the Hebrew year 5786 to 5787, serving as a period for reflection and renewal based on rabbinic calculations of creation.

In the realm of seasonal hobbies, embroidery is being promoted as a meditative, screen-free craft for the cooler months. Artist Floor Giebels is offering an online course through My Modern Met Academy that teaches a technique for combining embroidery with printed fabrics to create hand-stitched hoop art from photographs.
