Rosh HaShanah morning belongs in the park – ask any HaLev youth!! – Daniella will lead us in song at 10am, we’ll enjoy being together, once again getting to know each other, and at the same time, consider our stories, share, question, find hope in the darkness, and at 11:30, offer breadcrumbs to the very nearby fish [Tashlich] and blow our Shofarot [bring one if you have one].

Come to Robyn, Leah and Aaron Levitan’s new home – celebrate our first fall Shabbat – and assist the Levitan’s to put up their new home’s MEZZUZAH!!  Daniella and her music will be with us – and we’ll all have a chance to catch up before ROSH HaSHANAH!!  Potluck after the singing and storytelling.  RSVP’s welcome – to Robyn or Yitz

We’ll begin to talk about the upcoming season – it’s a great way for us to together prepare and learn about Jewish traditions and PRACTICES around our vital fall holy days.

NOTE THE NEW LOCATION!! – Come celebrate the very final and first moments of the year!!    Our family friendly service will be musical and filled with stories.  We’ll start at 4:30 sharp, to allow folks to be on their way even before 5:30 [if you choose to].  At 5:30 we’ll blow the shofar [bring one if you have] and say Motzi and together enjoy a RH potluck.   Have youth bring bathing suit, as after dinner, not before 6:00, there may be some swimming!  Johanna and Ryan Caplan are our hosts – Ty, Dax and Cam.  267/767-6591

ROSH HaSHANAH is in the park – ask any HaLev youth!  We’ll start up with songs and stories and celebrate among the trees, birds and fish of our familiar park.  Daniella will be leading us, our youth will be teaching us, we’ll happily be all together to celebrate, look back some, be present for each other, and consider the kind of year we’d like to live these coming days.  Bring a blanket or chairs, we’ll be sharing breadcrumbs with the fish at 11:30, and blowing Shofarot at 11:45am.

Yom Kippur is one of the exceptional gifts Judaism has given to the world.  It is a day filled with light.  It is intended to be something so different from the ultra-solemn holiday we were taught as youth.  This evening service will see us consider, more as adults than we generally do, what this world is about, and how we can make decisions, to see and feel light – when we often choose, instead, old unhealthy patterns.

Yom Kippur – our most outstanding day of retreat from nearly 3,000 years ago.  Our plan is to be outside in the Nathan’s backyard, among the trees, under the cool, blue skies.  Will be wonderful to be together for our final gathering during our 10 days of awe.  This is our day of transformation.  What would you like to let go?
