Sweet Beginnings

Rabbi Dianne of my shul in New York (Romemu) said "In the month of Elul, we have repenting to do. We've had enough of tearing each other apart. Let's set an intention to focus on not being "right" and elevating people instead of tearing them down." 

In my experience, to have a clean start, I need to apologize to people first, before I can go before HaShem. 

Wishing you an early Shana Tovah u'meitukah from my family to yours. 

Start fresh this year—with a table that’s as inspiring as the season itself. Picture this: rich autumn colors, elegant patterns, and Yom Tov designs that whisper new beginnings to everyone seated.

Gifts That Almost Taste Like Honey 🍏🍯

Gifts That Almost Taste Like Honey  🍏🍯

Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the 10 days in-between are known as Aseret Yamei Teshuvah (the “10 Days of Repentance”). 

More important than asking God to bless us with a positive inscription is the need for us to open our hearts and bless ourselves with optimism and the possibility of life-affirming changes in the coming year.

The Heart of the New Year

Your Table is The Heart of the New Year. 

The rabbis say the month of Elul means "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine." The parsha Re'eh mentions that joy and giving are linked. Also, joy is to be experienced in a community. I'm grateful to my community - LinorStore VIPs.

The Heart of the New Year is your table. Did you know that he real magic of Rosh HaShanah isn’t just in the apples and honey? It’s in the laughter between bites, the clink of glasses, and the stories passed around like a favorite recipe.

Dress your table so it feels as warm as the people around it. Our table linens and décor bring autumn color, holiday spirit, and a little wow to every seat.

Yes, your guests will notice. And yes, they’ll ask where you got it.

Elul Is Calling… Are You Ready? 🍏🍯

The month of Elul starts on 8/24/25 —think of it as the warm-up lap before Rosh HaShanah. A time to shake off last year’s dust, sprinkle a little sparkle on your home (and maybe your table), and get ready to welcome a year full of sweetness.

Set out the honey, polish the apples, and add a dash of beauty to your celebrations with décor that makes your guests say, “Ooh, where’d you get that?”

Here’s to fresh starts, joyful gatherings, and tables as sweet as the year ahead.

My 5 Tool Tips for Time Management

Times flies, doesn't it? I've been feeling a little overwhelmed by regular things to do and "someday" projects, things I'd like to get done, like  washing the windows, or decluttering. It’s easy to let important projects slide without time management. 

This week, I'm going to refine my system for time management so I can mark things complete and move on. 

This is a fun project I'm working on.

Personalized Rosh HaShanah gifts are here. I'm working with a new printer to bring you these platters. You can get yours for Yom Tov or gift it. 

Here are the tools I use to track things to do. I hope they can help you too.

1. Pick one priority and focus on it. It can be time-sensitive or a task that you've been putting off, like reorganizing my office or going through closets. Take small, consistent steps that lead to big wins—and you’ll feel amazing checking it off your list.

2. Google Calendar is easy to sync across devices, (share with family members) schedule meetings, block time, and color-code. I find it helpful to start with family events and appointments. You can add reminder notifications too.

3, Trello works like a digital bulletin board where you can create “boards” for each project or event. You can assign due dates and mark them completed too. I find it helpful to Keep a "general or someday board" for ideas that pop up and move them to a board later.

4. When.Do (Android Phones) Has straightforward to-do lists and reminders. It's best for: quick, lightweight task tracking. One habit I have is taking notes in this app, even tho I also use my phone Notepad app. 

5.  Excel is the spreadsheet organizer of details and numbers.

I use excel weekly to plan my LinorStore tasks and to double check my tasks on When.Do. I hope to adjust my planning tools and get more things off my list. 

Reminder: It's only 7 weeks to Rosh HaShanah. Check out the Rosh HaShanah gift selection. 

Order your cloth napkins ( the most popular design of 2024).

What tools/apps do YOU use to stay on top of things? 

P.S. Watch for new Jewish New Year and Bat/Bar mitzvah tableware products. I'm working with a new print manufacturer.
