That is how we live in community together. It is not just by pulling back, but even when we are afraid, it is by pulling together. That interdependence defines us, and I want you gentlemen to know that you are not doing this work alone. And you being here tells us that we are not doing it alone. We're so glad to have you back. Thanks for being here.

I hear from some of my yeshivas that are now telling their parents when you drop your child off to register for school, you have to fill out this voter registration form. And so these are new voters; these are first-time voters, and I think there's a population of voters that no one is polling.

This popular Van Ness bread bakery and market is putting together a Rosh Hashanah feast for four to six people ($270). Dig into rich matzoh ball soup; traditional Jewish beef brisket; chopped liver with caramelized onions; and a fall salad studded with honeycrisp apples, pecans, and pomegranate. Honey-raisin bread or plain challah are also available. For dessert, choose between a honey-date-walnut cake or chocolate flourless cake.

Rosh Hashanah is the lighter side of the high holidays, with observers encouraged to eat challah or apples dipped in golden honey to usher in a sweet new year. In Los Angeles, members of the Jewish diasporic community have the opportunity to order complete takeout meals (or complementary sides to home-cooked dishes) to assemble and eat at home, and this year, there are some dine-in options to explore as well.
