Much of this past year was marked by uncertainty, challenge, isolation and loss. Embarking on the year ahead, we set aside time to pray for healing for our loved ones and the world and to acknowledge a greater wholeness that unites us all. Rabbi Andrea Goldstein and Lucy Greenbaum lead a service of healing filled with poetry, prayer and music to restore and rejuvenate our souls.
Join Rabbis Bennett and Goldstein for a Zoom discussion about Teshuvah/Return as we begin to return, reconnect and recreate community in the coming new year.

As we know, writing can offer a healthy outlet to reflect on ourselves and on our world. Join Debra Solomon Baker, high school reading and writing teacher and trained and published writer as we use the themes of Yom Kippur as inspiration for some written words. All are welcome, even those who think, “I am not a writer.” Who knows? This might even be the start of a meaningful practice in the new year. There will be an opportunity, though never a requirement, to share with other participants.
