In Person, Led by Rabbi Werbow in Coordination with IYUN
The Holidays take us on a ride through reverent devotion, raucous exuberance, quiet contemplation, sober self-assessment and unbridled joy. It can all be a bit overwhelming. Preparing ourselves in advance can help get us ready to face all that Tishrei and the Holidays will bring us.
The sessions in this series will focus us on the themes of the Holidays and how we can get more out of them. Together with Rabbi Werbow, participants will create a purposeful, conversational space that probes the animating questions, rhythms and fundamental gestures of the chaggim. By doing so, the group will arrive at Tishrei a little more open, more ready, and more connected with one another.
