Shabbat Special Event - Reflections on the Anniversary of October 7th

The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat Shuvah) is a time for reflection upon experiences of the year that has passed.

This has been a difficult year for all of us, beginning with the horrors of October 7th and continuing throughout the year as we prayed for an end to war and return of the hostages, while also experiencing increasing acts of anti-Semitism in our own community. 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. We will be joined by Rabbi Gottlieb and City Shul member Jon Allen, to provide perspective and hold space for solidarity and hope as our community grapples with the devastation and challenges that have emerged in the past year both in the Middle East and locally.

This special Shabbat event will begin with Havdalah and end with light refreshments. The event is open to all members and those who purchase High Holy Day tickets.

Registration closes Tuesday, October 1, at 3 PM (our offices will be closed starting Wednesday, October 2 - 2 pm, for Rosh Hashanah)

The event will not be live-streamed. Sponsors for the refreshments are welcome.

Note - the event is open to teens and adults - please use your discretion due to the sensitive topic.
