2nd to 4th: New Year's arrives two months early for the Jewish community. For the uninitiated, Rosh Hashanah is a time for self-reflection, not shed-20-pounds resolutions, says SINAI TEMPLE (Champaign, IL) Rabbi Alan Cook: "When we examine our deeds, wherever we feel that we've missed the mark in any way, we engage in the act of teshuvah, which refers to repentance but literally means 'returning.' We try to turn back to a proper path, to do what God expects of us and what we expect of ourselves."
