Rosh Hashanah, traditionally the start of the New Year in Judaism, began at sunset on September 9th, 2018. The holiday ends at nightfall two days later. Rosh Hashanah is a time of atonement for past wrongdoing and for looking ahead to new beginnings. Consider honoring this day by becoming a modern-day abolitionist.
Anti-Slavery International estimates that there are 40.3 million people trapped in modern-day enslavement worldwide. There are many ways you can take part in the modern-day abolitionist movement. Some are immersive, while other methods are as simple as making smarter purchases. A great way to start is by educating yourself, so go ahead and begin by clicking the button above.
