Back in 2009, I wrote an essay titled "Interview Season" where I shared my thoughts on what the Yomim Noraim (Days of Awe) meant to me. Some time later Rabbi Phyllis Sommer began her now-famous "BlogElul" writing challenge. The idea of #BlogElul resonated with the thoughts I had put down in my essay, so I was inspired to participate that year, and each year since. With a few years under my belt, I decided it was time to bundle up those efforts into this anthology.
