The Days of Awe...
We have a yearning in our hearts.
We seek to be uplifted and energized by Jewish ritual. We seek the freedom to be Jewish "our way." We seek community and meaning in challenging times.
So we gather together. We gather lifelong Jews, Jews by choice, the Jew-curious, and those in interfaith partnerships. We gather elders and youth, families and singles. We gather all the colors of the rainbow and we gather all sexual orientations and all beliefs (and non-beliefs) about the Divine. We gather, each in the image of G!d.
We gather to turn, return, and be turned each year at this time during the High Holidays.
If you want to connect to a Judaism that transcends and includes our sacred traditions, join us this year ONLINE, to experience our amazing Jewish Renewal-style High Holy Day services.
Magnificent music and heartfelt prayer brings us together as we journey higher and higher, deeper and deeper—bonded as a collective.
All High Holidays liturgy is provided in easy to follow format, with English phonetics and translations.

On the second day of Rosh HaShana, we have a virtual contemplative retreat led by Eyal Rivlin and Danya Rivlin along with Ba'alat Tefilah/Hazzan Michelle Wolf. We will combine deep kirtan-style prayer and devotional song, offering our prayers for personal and collective healing. We conclude our service with shofar-blowing, and encourage everyone to follow with kiddush and tashlich (the release of old karma).
