Holidays — our “holy days” — are meant to meet the moment. Be joyful when it’s a day for celebration. Be solemn when it’s a day for mourning.
Some are made for celebration, like Holi or Thanksgiving, with full plates and full hearts. Others ask us to reflect: Yom Kippur, Ramadan, Ash Wednesday. And some, like Christmas or Passover, mix both to honor the sacred while gathering together.
