Important: Rosh Hashanah Help for a Friend
On the eve of Rosh Hashanah (eve), I'm asking your help.
A friend of mine is going through cancer treatments and will not be able to attend services this year (crowds, and their accompanying germs are very dangerous for him because his immune system is repairing itself). He's found something for Yom Kippur. But he's still looking for something online, live streaming video, or the like that will enable him to feel like he's at shul, participating in the Rosh Hashanah service, even though he will be homebound. He understands that such services, if available, will likely be Conservative or Reform. But so far we've not been able to find anything for him for Rosh Hashanah.
Do you have anything to recommend? Organizations/rabbis/leaders to contact? Put them in the comments section, or email me at esther.kustanowitz at gmail dot com.
Let me know if you know of anything like this--it would be a real mitzvah.
Wishing us all health in the new year.

That's all fine. What, however, do you think about Obadiah Shoher's criticism pf Rosh Hashanah as aholiday that has nothing to do with New Year? Here, for example http://samsonblinded.org/blog/petty-paganism.htm
