Season are changing and we have a wealth of material for you to enjoy.

Election season is coming up, and our special dossier for the month focuses on "Decision 5767". 
Why is so much attention being paid to the Jewish vote? Analysis top races from a Jewish perspective including the Santorum, Allen, Harris, Casey and Lieberman campaigns.

The academic season resumes anew for our children, and our Dr. Flaura Winston help us help them redefine "success" in her latest installment of her Raising a Mensch column.

The High Holiday season is coming up, so we have expanded coverage in our Living Judaism section with 5 articles providing food for thought on the holidays, while our food column "The Kosher Table" will 
provides thoughts on holiday food. Continued coverage thanks to Jews in Green's Captain Howard J. Perl gives us a first-hand perspective of the high holidays through the eyes of a Jewish serviceman in Baghdad. Meanwhile, our Community Calendar is continually updated with listings of high holiday and all other sorts of Jewish events around our community.

All this and much more, including Dry Bones cartoons, and extensive commentary on the situation in
Israel.

Enjoy.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year from the Philadelphia Jewish Voice.
