During the High Holy Days, I have always yearned for simplicity, silence, spaciousness and the companionship of spirit-buddies who might share this inner journey of reflection in preparation for renewal and realignment.

Our High Holy Day practice will include chant, movement, silence, poetry, teaching and some traditional liturgy. It will include a Torah service with group aliot and blessings on both Rosh Hashana Day 1 and Yom Kippur Day. Each service will offer the opportunity to dive deep into silence by participating in a 20-minute silent Amida.

You are welcome to come to all or some of the stops on this journey.

The journey will consist of:

  • 4 Weekly Elul letters to help in entering the process of realignment at this special time (Elul week 1 starts August 21; Elul week 2 starts August 28; Elul week 3 starts September 4; Elul week 4 starts September 11)
  • 4 Thursday evening KZOOM sessions focusing on our T’shuvah work for the upcoming week of Elul (August 20, 27 & September 3, 10 starting at 5PM Pacific, 6PM Mountain, 7PM Central, 8PM Eastern time)
