Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur are coming soon...

Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur are now officially a month away, and we've started the Jewish month of Elul in which we prepare for the holidays. In that spirit, here are links to some essays I wrote previously on Harry Potter themes related to the High Holidays:

Harry Potter and the Power of Repentance:

I hope that everyone has had a great summer, and hope to have more Harry Potter and Torah thoughts for you soon!

I'm enjoying your site.
Do you discuss one of my favorite scenes? -- One of the main characters dies, and Dumbledore's first thought is to take care of the needs of some people who would most likely be forgotten by everyone else.
