Tishrei Cheshvan Kislev Tevet Shevat Adar Nisan Iyar Sivan Tammuz Av Elul The Importance of the Jewish holidays cannot be overestimated. They are an indispensable part of what defines us as Jews. They impart important lessons about God's covenant with our people. They teach us about our history and about our connection to the Land of Israel. They convey values that distinguish Judaism from other religions. They allow us opportunities to celebrate with our families and with our communities. They are occasions of great joy, long awaited pauses in the turmoil and stress of everyday life.
