Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement: September 20-21, 2026

It is the holiest and most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.
It falls on the 10th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, ten days after Rosh Hashanah.
It marks the end of the Ten Days of Repentance.

The CDEI Committee, wishes all who observe Yom Kippur a meaningful day. πŸ•ŠοΈ
May this sacred time offer an opportunity for reflection, renewal, forgiveness, and connection. As we pause to consider the year behind us and the year ahead, may we find strength in community and recommit ourselves to compassion, understanding, belonging and creating a more inclusive world.
Wishing everyone who observes a peaceful and meaningful Yom Kippur.

National Hispanic Heritage Month 2026 takes place from September 15 to October 15, honoring the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. September 15 was chosen because it marks the independence anniversaries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

The CDEI recognizes and celebrates the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities.

The Hispanic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of belonging and representation, while honoring the many diverse experiences and identities within Hispanic and Latino communities.
We celebrate the perspectives, accomplishments, and lived experiences that strengthen our workplaces and communities.

We also recognize that inclusion is an ongoing commitment. By listening to one another, challenging barriers to opportunity, and creating spaces where everyone feels respected and valued, we can continue building a community where people of all backgrounds can thrive.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we invite everyone to learn, celebrate, and deepen their appreciation for the diversity that makes our community stronger.

With gratitude for the many voices, experiences, and contributions that enrich our shared community. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month to All who celebrate.
