Best Practices and Resources in Support of our Jewish Students During Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur


Dear Cañada Community,

As we approach Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Office of Equity and Cultural Center have prepared a series of best practices to support our Jewish students, faculty, staff, and administrators on campus. This special time is marked by important celebrations, contemplation, and practices that may change the way our campus community accesses classes, meetings, food, water, rest, and reflection. More information about the observation of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is included below for awareness on how to support students and colleagues during this time. 

What is Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?

Rosh Hashanah is considered one of the biggest celebrations of the year–marking the beginning of the Jewish New Year. Many families gather together to reflect on the suffering in the world and seek repentance, eat honey and apples–which symbolize hope, light candles, and blow the shofar (ram’s horn) as a symbolic wake-up call. 

The time from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur is called the High Holidays because it is a very holy time in Jewish tradition. It is a time when the Jewish people reflect upon their past year, and that of the world, and make commitments to learning from mistakes and pledge both individually and communally to do better to receive a renewal of the gift of life for the following year. In Judaism, people reflect and repent each year and pray to be given life for another year, so these holidays are a time for renewal and reflection. This requires time for focusing during the ten days of reflection between the High Holy days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and then fast on the day of Yom Kippur. This fasting symbolizes a final cleansing of the old through the sacrifice of food for a day and asking for forgiveness and the gift of life for the following year. The evening before each holiday plus the following day are usually spent in the house with others.

Many of our Jewish students and colleagues will be with their families during these times, and have asked our college community to consider what this means for accommodations in class, and scheduling meetings during these special days. 

This year, Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 and ends on the evening of Yom Kippur on Saturday, October 12, 2024. 

How Can I Support?

Food Containers

If you are serving any food in your daytime classes or events during this time, please consider having options such as to-go containers. You may also get free to-go containers from the Cultural Center, located in Building 17, Room 117.

Space

Contemplative and meditation spaces are available in Building 5, Room 202 - please contact Sergio Suarez, Student Life & Leadership Manager, for more details. The Cultural Center also offers a reparative space for reflection and thought in Building 17, Room 107, for more details about this offering, please contact Maggie De Paz Fernandez, Program Services Coordinator at the Cultural Center. 

Class & Activities

As a campus, we encourage instructors and students, employees and their supervisors, and coaches and their players to work together to find the best feasible solutions to support people when they are fasting and observing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur this month.

Shanah tovah, good year, to you!

Learn more about the space here.

The Office of Student Life & Leadership Development is excited to share this necessary and beneficial space with our Cañada College community. As the space is newly opened, they also would like to provide an opportunity for open feedback and suggestions so the space is in line with our needs and wants. Please share questions and suggestions about the Meditation and Prayer Room with the Center for Student Life and Leadership Development.

Pedestrian Safety Starts with You: Essential Tips for Pedestrians and Drivers

Dear Cañada Community,

September is Pedestrian Safety Month in California.

As we begin the new school year, we are excited to welcome everyone back to campus. The campus Public Safety team would like to remind of the importance of pedestrian safety and for drivers to slow down and be alert for people walking on our roads, specifically in key high-traffic areas of campus including:

  1. The three-way intersection in front of Building 1 at The Loop Road and Campus Circle
  2. The crosswalk from Cañada Vista on Campus Drive to Parking Lot 2
  3. The crosswalks in front of Lot 4 at Campus Circle
  4. Reminder: the roadway outside of Building 8 is for Facilities/Emergency vehicles only


Public Safety and Facilities have taken several measures to enhance safety on our campus streets, which include: additional directional signs, illuminated stop signs, roadway reflectors and painted fresh arrows to improve visibility and guidance. Even with the new measures in place, participation from the campus and greater community is needed to ensure safety. Below are important safety tips for drivers and pedestrians:

For Drivers:

  1. Always be on the lookout for pedestrians
  2. Adhere to speed limits, particularly around pedestrians, in school zones, and in residential areas. The maximum speed limit on campus is 25 MPH unless otherwise posted
  3. Adhere to all posted traffic signs such as speed limit, traffic direction or other traffic safety indicators
  4. Exercise extra caution in poor visibility conditions, such as nighttime or inclement weather
  5. Slow down and be ready to stop when turning or entering a crosswalk
  6. Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop far enough back to allow other vehicles to see the crossing pedestrians
  7. Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk; there may be pedestrians you cannot see
  8. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  9. Be particularly cautious when reversing, and watch for pedestrians

For Pedestrians:

  1. Be aware of the rules of the road and obey traffic signs and signals
  2. Use sidewalks whenever they are available
  3. If no sidewalk is available, walk facing traffic and stay as far from it as possible
  4. Cross streets at designated crosswalks or intersections, and watch for turning vehicles
  5. Use crosswalk activation buttons, if available, as they provide an additional visual notice to drivers
  6. If no crosswalk or intersection is available, choose a well-lit area with good visibility of traffic. Wait for a safe gap in traffic and continue to watch as you cross
  7. Be alert for vehicles entering or exiting driveways or backing up in parking lots
  8. Avoid alcohol and drugs, as they impair your judgment and abilities
  9. Embrace walking as a healthy form of transportation—get up, get out, and get moving

By taking these extra precautions, together, we can help protect pedestrians and reduce the risk of crashes and injuries. Walking should always be an easy and safe option for getting around any community.

Thank you for your partnership to keep our campus safe!
