After days devoted to repentance, accountability, and confronting imperfections, Sukkot doesn't wait for everything to be resolved before inviting us to celebrate. Instead, we enter the sukkah knowing that it is temporary and imperfect, and we fill it with meals, guests, singing, gratitude, and joy.
An illustration of our mascot, Orli, which resembles the radiant in our logo, standing by a decorated sukkah with colorful lights and a leafy roof. Text reads, "Chag Sukkot Sameach: Happy Sukkot From The Jewish Board."

What happens when therapy meets you where you are? EMDR helped him face childhood trauma without feeling overwhelmed. With support tailored to his needs, he began to heal and see that trauma can be part of his story without defining what comes next. Read Tyler’s story here : bit.ly/4ifO4ZO

The High Holidays resonate powerfully in our work. Every day, we help people through hard experiences. Together, we acknowledge what we've lost, tend to what needs repair, and make room for each other. Especially today, let's reflect on our actions, relationships, and the community we want to be.
Our radiant-shaped mascot, Orli, blows a shofar while surrounded by apples and pomegranates. Text at the top of the image reads: "Shana Tova, Happy Rosh Hashanah from The Jewish Board."

Shavuot invites us to reflect on how wisdom is received, shared, and passed forward. A powerful idea in Jewish tradition is that revelation did not happen to a single person—it happened in community. This is why we look toward lived experience when providing care with dignity, compassion, and hope.
