Fall arrives this month. September also means kids are back in school, the evenings are getting shorter, and the days are getting cooler. Here are some holidays and events your family can recognize during the month of September:
Hispanic Heritage Month
Sept. 15-Oct. 15
One of our former publishers shared this delicious Arroz con Leche recipe for Hispanic Heritage Month that she learned from her mother and grandmothers while growing up in Tepic, Nayarit. Make it this month as one way to celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Yom Kippur
Sept. 15-16

Introspection and connecting to your religion. To do that, Jews fast from sundown the night before to sundown the night of Yom Kippur.
