Hello and welcome to HighHolidays@Home. My name is Rebecca Missel, and with just three weeks until Rosh Hashanah, I'll be sharing my favorite ideas you can use to make the High Holidays meaningful.

If you're like me, you've spent a lot of time at home recently.  To make my space feel special for the Holidays, I like to dedicate a small area as holy. You can try this by starting with a flat surface like a bookshelf or table. Then follow the instructions in our downloadable Guide to Creating Sacred Space at Home.

Watch our Home Altar Making Webinar to learn more, and find inspiration and resources to create your own. You can use your altar to pray, dance, meditate, bless and more! 

Have you built a home altar? Tell me how you're creating sacred space during these High Holidays at Home. Contact rebecca@haggadot.com, or tag us on Facebook or Instagram.

Shana Tova!
Rebecca Missel, Partnerships Director & Ritual Guide
