This free download is a gift for the High Holidays from the Hebron Fund, the non-profit
organization that supports Hebron families and helps beautify and maintain Hebron’s holy
sites.

The calendar has both Hebrew and English dates and lists all the Jewish holidays making
it convenient and practical.

 

Rosh Hashannah, the Jewish new year, usually attracts thousands of visitors
from Israel and abroad to pray at the Tomb of the Patriarchs & Matriarchs.
However this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, gatherings are limited. At this
ancient location, a site of pilgrimage for generation we offer thoughts and prayers for
all those suffering from COVID-19 and strength for all the medical professionals working
to alleviate this danger. 

 

 

The Israeli Ministry of Health has labeled the Tomb of the Patriarchs “green”
in their new traffic light labeling system and the historic complex has been
reserved for Rosh Hashanah services  including the massive Isaac’s Hall  with
up to 150 worshippers throughout the day, sectioned apart in capsules, and wearing
masks. 

 

The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah was chosen as one of the ten days per
year in the sharing agreement with the Islamic Waqf. 

 

The spiritual energies of this world connect through the Ma’arat HaMachpela.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to accommodate all residents and visitors are
still advised to stay away due to the pandemic. 

Our Forefather Abraham is front and center in the Torah reading and
prayers for both days of Rosh Hashanah. The Torah reading for the first day tells of the
birth of  Sarah and Abraham’s child Isaac. The second day’s reading is that
of  Abraham and the binding of Isaac. A central theme of the prayers throughout the
day is that we are the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

 

Wishing you a Shana Tova for 5781 from the city of Abraham – good health,
happiness and prosperity to all in the year to come.
