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.
