The cycle of agriculture requires that we continually regenerate, repair, and renew in order to grow. Likewise, the Hebrew month of Tishrei, often referred to as the “month of beginning,” is the first month of the Jewish year and reminds us that such renewal is possible at the human level too: with each new year, we reflect where we have been and where we’re going so that we may begin again with intention.
The month of Tishrei encompasses the Jewish holidays known as “the chaggim (holidays)” – Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah. The start of the month is marked by the sliver of a new moon that grows increasingly bright with each passing day.
Embracing the light of our beloved Sukkot Harvest Festival, Coastal Roots Farm’s first-ever Tishrei Ag Fest will also elevate these other holidays and invite us to kick off the joyous and regenerative beginning of this Jewish year.
