The High Holy Days invite us to slow down in a world that pulls us toward distraction, urgency, and disconnection. Together, we will practice staying present to ourselves, our communities, and the world around us. We believe that a Judaism Beyond Zionism calls us not to look elsewhere for belonging or liberation, but to root deeply where we are: cultivating presence, telling the truth, grieving what is broken, celebrating what is beautiful, and transforming our spiritual practice into action.
Grounded in Jewish Renewal prayers, rituals, and songs and a liberatory vision of Judaism, our services weave together inspiring teachings from Rabbi Cat Zavis, moving music and prayer, mindfulness, poetry, conversation, guest speakers, opportunities for collective action, and delicious shared meals. Together, we pray not to escape the world, but to become more fully present within it.
