Halloween has come and gone, yet many people have left their giant skeletons standing. Since 2020, what I call the “skeleton craze” has continued to grow. What began with 12-foot-tall skeletons towering over front yards across America has evolved into an elaborate display of skeletons in every imaginable shape and size. This year, there seemed…
The biblical month of Elul is the 6th month on the Hebrew religious calendar and serves as a 29-day period of intense spiritual preparation and self-reflection.
