Your Rosh Hashanah Resolutions for 5777

To get in the High Holiday mood, we asked you–our readers–to send in your Rosh Hashanah resolutions. From small resolutions (like trying to read more) to profound resolutions (such as being more present in your relationships), we’re so grateful you shared these with us. No resolution is too small or too big—personally, we believe in baby steps—a little bit of effort each day can go a long way.

Here’s what our readers said. And if you didn’t get a chance before, it’s not too late to make your own resolution–just tell us in the comments below!
