YOM KIPPUR

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.

Yom Kippur is a time for deep reflection on the past year, honestly exploring where we have missed the mark, both individually and collectively. Through unique Al Cheyt prayers, we are called to take responsibility for our  mis-steps. Our Teshuva Workbook helps guide our efforts to do so in meaningful ways so we can more fully live in alignment with our values. 

The Yizkor service provides a meaningful time to reflect on the lives of loved ones, mentors, and martyrs that have passed from this world, giving us space to breathe into the depth of our feelings of loss and sorrow.

We end with a delicious vegetarian community potluck for break-fast. A time to celebrate and bask in community. 

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.
