VeHashevota El Levavecha: Return to Your Heart
In these turbulent times, the High Holy Days offer an opportunity to ignite the love, compassion, and strength of our courageous hearts. The imperative of the Holy Days is for each of us to return to our essence. Join us in loving community as we return to do this work together. We will enliven traditional liturgy with new melodies and soulful songs from across cultures, as well as explore ancient wisdom to find modern meaning.
