This is an excellent book particularly when you are preparing for the High Holy days but can be read at any time. It is full of readings from a wide variety of sources and includes poetry. Some readings are thought provoking others are informative and yet others are moving. There is something for everyone. I strongly recommend this book and its companion "Yom Kippur Readings". Both are excellent resources.

Edited by Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, Rosh Hashanah Readings: Inspiration Information Contemplation is an anthology of writings by esteemed Jewish religious leaders and scholars, meant to be experienced and shared during the High Holy Days that mark the Jewish New Year, and the accompanying challenge of faith to undertake spiritual and moral self-examination. Most individual passages are brief, only a few paragraphs long, and therefore suitable to be read aloud at gatherings and celebrations, or with family and friends. Enthusiastically recommended reading to enrich the mind and spirit, and a superb companion volume to Elkins' previous title, "Yom Kippur Readings".
