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.

The festivities include fireworks, music performances, and waterfront processions with Durga clay statues.

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.
GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND: The Glastonbury Dragons are paraded through the town as they celebrate Samhain at the Glastonbury Dragons Samhain Wild Hunt 2017 in Glastonbury on November 4, 2017 in Somerset, England. To celebrate Samhain, the Glastonbury Dragons, alongside Gwythyr Ap Greidal, the Summer King and the Winter King, Gwyn Ap Nudd, were paraded through the town. The Celtic festival of Samhain, which was later adopted by Christians and became Halloween, is a very important date in the Pagan calendar as it marks the division of the year between the lighter half (summer) and the darker half (winter).

Pagan Holidays � About Mabon, The Autumn Equinox
Witchfest is one of our favourite festivals. We also attend the brilliant free Lammas Festival in Eastbourne, Pagan Pride in Nottingham, Pagan Pride in Southampton and the Artemis Gathering.
Estimates vary, but it looks like anything between 200,000 and a million people around the world celebrate Paganism. It's such a big part of our lives that we thought it'd be fun to look at the Pagan holiday of Mabon, the autumn equinox, celebrated by Pagans on or around 21st September each year, also called Harvest Home and the Feast of the Ingathering.

1. Jane Doe - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Hitachi magic wand therapeutic massager after hearing so many great things about it. However, I was extremely disappointed with the product. First of all, the vibrations were way too intense and uncomfortable for me. It felt more like a jackhammer rather than a relaxing massage. Additionally, the size and design of the massager were not ergonomic at all, making it difficult to hold and maneuver. Overall, I found the Hitachi magic wand to be a complete letdown and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a soothing and enjoyable massage experience.
2. Mark Johnson - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Hitachi magic wand therapeutic massager, but it turned out to be a huge waste of money. The device is incredibly loud, making it impossible to use discreetly. Not to mention, the vibrations were incredibly strong and harsh, causing discomfort instead of relaxation. The power cord was also quite short, limiting the range of motion during use. Overall, I found the Hitachi magic wand to be a poorly designed and over-hyped product.
3. Sarah Thompson - 2 stars - The Hitachi magic wand therapeutic massager did not live up to my expectations. Firstly, the vibrations were too intense, making it uncomfortable to use on any part of my body. Additionally, the massager itself felt heavy and unwieldy, making it difficult to control and maneuver. The construction also felt cheap and flimsy, which made me question the durability of the product. I was hoping for a therapeutic massage experience, but unfortunately, the Hitachi magic wand fell short and did not provide the relaxation I was seeking.
4. David Miller - 1 star - I can't understand the hype surrounding the Hitachi magic wand therapeutic massager. The vibrations are way too strong and overpowering - it felt more like torture than therapy. The size and weight of the device also make it cumbersome and uncomfortable to use for an extended period of time. To top it off, the power cord kept getting in the way and limited my movement. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this massager, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle and soothing massage.
