A Bold Jewish Renewal Community
🌿 Growing Judaism Beyond Zionism 🌿
Erev Rosh Hashana
In Person (Oakland) + Online
Monday, September 22, 6:00pm PT
Join Beyt Tikkun for spiritually-rooted, politically-courageous High Holiday services led by Rabbi Cat Zavis, Musical Director Ami Goodman.
We are community of and for Jews, allies, and beloveds opposing Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and Jewish supremacist ideology—whether anti-zionist, non-zionist, or are questioning zionism.
We stand in solidarity with Palestinian liberation and all oppressed peoples, rooted in Jewish values of love, truth, courage, and care.
We are a safe haven for people whose views, questions, and grief are not welcomed in mainstream synagogues or Jewish spaces.
🕊️ What to Expect at Erev Rosh Hashanah
During Erev Rosh Hashanah, a time to celebrate the creation of the universe, we will engage in a collective visioning of the world we yearn for.
🎨 On Erev Rosh Hashanah, as we celebrate the creation of the universe, Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb will share a story of hope in times of despair and we will engage in a collective visioning of the world we yearn for, which local graphic artist Sara Yukimoto-Saltman will transform into a beautiful co-created visual image..
