In preparation for 5773, we invite you to take time to reflect and renew as we begin a new year. The Elul Self-Evaluation is a perfect way to individually assess our accomplishments, take note of our challenges, and vision for our futures.

We hope you will find this information helpful as we begin our High Holy Days. On behalf of the NFTY Board and the NFTY Staff, we wish you a healthy, sweet and joyous new year.
