High Holy Days 5770

Hineini: Here I Am
Embracing the Call of Change in the New Year

The word Hineini— meaning “Here I am!”—is spoken in Torah as the response to a Divine call. As the New Year begins, who will you be called to be? What will you be asked to let go of in your life?

Join Rabbi Shawn Zevit and Simcha Zevit for inspiring services and deep Torah discussions in which we will pause to consider where our lives have been and where they are heading, and what transformation we are being called to in the year to come.

Together we will enter the year of 5770 with the fullness of who we are and who we can be, tapping into reservoirs of renewed strength, clarity and connection to our life purpose.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services and Torah study will reflect a multi-denominational, egalitarian style, following the traditional structure of the liturgy, but also including meditation, chanting and musical instruments.

Children are welcome. Yoga classes will be offered daily.

Call (800) 298-2630 ext 4 to register for High Holiday retreats. Online registration for these retreats will be available soon.
