Hello and good Yom Kippur (Thursday) to those who practice! G'mar Chatima Tovah. Yom Kippur is the most solemn religious fast of the Jewish year, the last of the 10 days of penitence (showing repentance) that begins with Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). We asked a local reader and columnist, Bruce Apar (TapInto and River Journal), about what Yom Kippur means to him: "Yom Kippur is a very solemn holy day for the Jewish faith, but it is the only day on which we fast. What’s little known outside the faith is that the Sabbath (Saturday) is considered the most holy day," he said. "In Hebrew (and in theory), to great someone for Yom Kippur, it’s G’mar Chatima Tova, which means “may you be sealed for good” because the belief is that our fate for the coming year is written on Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and sealed on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement, where we ask to be absolved of our sins from the past year). In practice, on Yom Kippur, most Jews tend to greet each other saying, “Easy fast” and “Have a sweet year.” With Sukkot right around the corner, most visibly celebrated in Beacon by the Beacon Hebrew Alliance at Pohill Park on Main Street and Wolcott, the setup in that park will not happen again this year as they wish to respect safety measures during the pandemic, and are instead having something different, a little bit like blind dating. Today (Saturday) is the 100th celebration of Slaterpalooza, the music event fundraiser for the Slater Chemical Fire Company, the firehouse in Glenham. Learn all about it here. Meanwhile, Quinn's, the jazz music venue featuring Japanese comfort food, has announced their temporary closure starting last week. Read all about that here.   THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Edited and Written By Teslie Andrade and Katie Hellmuth Martin You can sponsor this Event Guide with your event, for extra promotion of it!

BINNACLE BOOKS 321 Main Street, Beacon Kaveh Akbar, “Pilgrim Bell” available here! Along with many more hidden gems. “With formal virtuosity and ruthless precision, Kaveh Akbar’s second collection takes its readers on a spiritual journey of disavowal, fiercely attendant to the presence of divinity where artifacts of self and belonging have been shed. How does one recover from addiction without destroying the self-as-addict? And if living justly in a nation that would see them erased is, too, a kind of self-destruction, what does one do with the body’s question, ‘what now shall I repair?’ Here, Akbar responds with prayer as an act of devotion to dissonance—the infinite void of a loved one’s absence, the indulgence of austerity, making a living as a Muslim in an Islamophobic nation—teasing the sacred out of silence and stillness. Richly crafted and generous, ‘Pilgrim Bell’s linguistic rigor is tuned to the register of this moment and any moment. As the swinging soul crashes into its limits, against the atrocities of the American empire, and through a profoundly human capacity for cruelty and grace, these brilliant poems dare to exist in the empty space where song lives—resonant, revelatory, and holy.
