The month of Elul is a chance to look inwards, reflect on how the year has gone until now and prepare spiritually for the High Holidays.

[#SMARTalks @smartalkstv]

The Hebrew month of Elul is a time for reflection, introspection, and repentance. What is amazing about this piece of art is that it illustrates how our efforts can have an impact spanning a wide range of areas.

Passover starts tonight! Here is a quick message we posted last year. In the contest of the world we are living in today, this message is even more powerful

Happy Passover!

Say Health and Stay Save!!!

Working from home can be hard. At this point, we are all missing our desks, missing collaborating with co-workers, and getting things done quickly.

Here at SMARTalks we appreciate the fun gems that we would miss… https://t.co/7UghFeCkao

Get ready to SHAKE that Lulav and Etrog tonight!
It might seem like a dance move, but standing under the Sukkah, holding together the Lulav and Etrog, saying the blessing, and shaking the Plant-Based props really has one of the most beautiful meanings

Countdown to one of the most central #Jewish Holidays, #Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), that also happens to mad IG Influencer #Glamping Goals!

8 days, feasts, and the mitzvah to eat, sleep, and be joyous and cheerful under a temporary dwelling!

Nothing like the glow of Yom Kippur Havdalah marking the end of the fast, and separating the prior 10 days from the year.

Though understandably most people dread the Yom Kippur Fast, we can't wait til the Havdalah candle is lit and the ceremony begins.

To Tashlich, or not to Tashlich?

An age-old Jewish Tradition symbolizing washing away sins from the past year in prep for Yom Kippur. On Rosh Hashanah, we head to bodies of water and "empty our sins" by throwing bread or stones into the water.

New Moon, New Year, New Iteration of the Best You!

Did you look up at the sky last night and also see this beautiful sight? Thats it, the first moon of the Jewish Year 5870.

The Jewish Calendar is lunar, guided by the stages in which the moon waxes and wanes.

One of our favorite IGs to follow, @myjewishlearningcom shared this stunning picture of the traditional Simanim, or Symbols, found on the #Sephardic #RoshHashanah Seder menu, that we just had to repost.

Wishing you all a #ShanaTova!

The countdown to Rosh Hashanah has begun, and this post by @SefariaProject really spoke to us...

Considering we're drawn into the abyss of our screens, are we all making the extra effort, in this limited time of elevated spirituality and holiness, to be heartful and soulful?

What's one of our favorite fruits? Yep, that Pomegranate got us bad!

Yea we love the taste, the color, and that perfect crown on top! But more than everything its the symbolism of this majestic fruit that keeps us addicted year after year!

Do you see the divinity here, at the Synagogue under the #WesternWall, too! One of the most spiritual aspects of Elul is the Selichot Prayers (Sefardic Jews begin in Elul, Ashkenazi Jews don't begin until Rosh Hashanah).

#RoshHashanah is almost synonymous with Honey; a famous Jewish Tradition to start the New Year off sweet!

Wishing you a sweet New Year!
