One of the main tenants of Judaism is the ability to obtain forgiveness
from God. During the current Jewish month of Elul, which preceeds the High
Holidays of Rosh Hashana (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement),
there is a special focus on introspection and asking both God as well as fellow
man for the ability to make up for the wrong which was committed. Many Jews have
a beautiful tradition of reaching out to family and friends during the month of
Elul in order to ask forgiveness for any wrongdoing over the course of the past
year, and to offer forgiveness for any wrongs committed against them. Meir
Panim, a charity that provides for thousands of Israel's needy, offers a
selection of beautiful hand-drawn Rosh Hashana greeting cards which not only
enable you to send warm New Year's wishes to your loved ones, but also help
those in need celebrate this holiday season.
