What Religious Holidays are Happening in September and October?

The start of September brings a new month of back-to-school and fall activities and includes a range of religious and spiritual holidays. Interfaith America’s Noah Silverman reflects on the Jewish High Holidays in September and read on to see a selection of other days to commemorate throughout September and October.
The Jewish community worldwide is beginning the annual High Holidays, which starts with Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year, which began on Friday, September 15 at sundown and ended on Sunday, September 17. Following Rosh Hashanah is Yom Kippur – the day of atonement, taking place September 24-25 – and then concludes with Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
For Jews who observe these holidays, they are something of an emotional roller coaster. We start high with the celebration of the New Year; traditionally, Jews eat apples dipped in honey to symbolize a sweet new year, and we listen to the blast of the shofar – which is a kind of trumpet made from a ram’s horn – that spiritually “wake us up.”

But then we immediately plunge into what is known as the “days of repentance” before Yom Kippur. The harsh metaphor of these holidays holds that God judges every human’s deeds on Rosh Hashanah and determines whether to re-inscribe us in the “Book of Life” for another year. We recite a rather morbid prayer on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur that culminates in a litany of all the ways that we might die in the year to come: “Who by water and who by fire, who by sword and who by beast, who by famine and who by thirst, who by earthquake and who by plague…”
But, significantly, God only “pencils it in” on Rosh Hashanah. We all have ten days to repent, repair, and commit to doing better before our fates are symbolically sealed on Yom Kippur. During the days of repentance, we are urged to make amends for all the misdeeds, mistakes, and harm we have caused in the previous year, knowingly or unknowingly.
A few years ago, my son’s religious school had an outdoor celebration for the new year and a reflection on the days of repentance. Rabbi Rebecca Milder taught that the central message of this ritual can be explained in three sentences, which she had all of the children read out loud in unison: “We all make mistakes. I am sorry. I am learning to do better.”
Shortly after Yom Kippur, we move on to Sukkot, a harvest festival. Traditionally, Jews build what is called a sukkah in their backyard; it’s a temporary hut constructed outdoors. We spend as much time on it as possible, eating meals and inviting others to join us. Sukkot is a harvest festival in both the literal sense of the word – we celebrate the fall harvest of crops – and in a spiritual sense, we harvest the fruits of our spiritual renewal.
Directly following Sukkot is Simchat Torah, when we finish the yearly cycle of reading the Torah and immediately start it again. In Simchat Torah, we read the very end of Deuteronomy. Then we re-spool the entire piece of parchment on which the Torah is written and read from the beginning of Genesis: “In the beginning … the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep… and God said, ‘Let there be light.'”
The High Holidays are a period seeped with themes of both decay and renewal, finality and perpetuity, death, and life. The High Holidays call us to live every day as if it were our last, as though this is our last opportunity to do right by each other and be the version of ourselves we aspire to be. And that starts by acknowledging our essential humanity: We all make mistakes. I am sorry. I am learning to do better.

Samhain and Halloween: Samhain was first observed by Celtic Pagans and marked the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. The Holiday signaled the beginning of winter, which Pagans associated with death. It was considered a time when the veil between the physical world and the Otherworld was thin, allowing spirits of the dead to visit the living. Rituals may include dancing, feasting, being in nature, and building altars to honor ancestors. Samhain is the origin of Halloween.
