The Ten Blessings Amidst the Plague
We add a drop of wine to increase our sweetness, using our spoon as a symbol of not using our fingers/hands in a normal way during these times. At the end of the 10th blessing we drink a l’chayim.
1. We are healthy.
2. We have volunteered: to shop for people we might not normally be in contact with, to deliver groceries, to counsel or to call someone struggling.
3. We have reached out: with a phone call, a text, a message, paying attention to our family and friends in a thoughtful way.
4. We are supporting local restaurants by ordering from them
5. We are supporting medical front line personnel by staying home
6. We have learned new technologies and stretched our skills even when we we thought we would resist
7. We have innovated our Jewish traditions and familiar customs and given “going to shul" a new urgency and a new meaning this year
8. We have experienced the arts in new ways: theatre and music, with a new appreciation for the artists who make these things possible
10. We have slowed down in order to pay attention to what is important.
11. We are paying attention to the earth and the environment, appreciating the first buds of spring if even from our windows.

SepSeptember 27 , 2025Shabbat Shuvah Singing Circle
Shabbat, Sep 27th 4:30p to 6:00p
The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is an especially spiritual time. Explore how the Rabbis viewed these 10 Days of Repentance through study of the midrash, followed by a session on how high holiday music guides and affects our experience, and conclude with a special guided meditation experience to set a meaningful intention for Yom Kippur. This special Shabbat event ends with Kaddish and brunch. The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat Shuvah) is a time for reflection upon experiences of the year that has passed. We will gather to mark the end of Shabbat Shuvah, and to reflect upon the anniversary of October 7 with song and prayer, and an opportunity to share our feelings of mourning, grief and peace in a safe, non-confrontational environment.
