On this most auspicious of days, the Jewish lineage invites us to look closely at the ways our small, fragile ego pulls us into cycles of fear and shame, self-protection and heart-hardening. Yom Kippur calls us behind the veil into the inner sanctum, the Holy of Holies in our hearts, to rediscover the Beloved Source of All, which dwells within us and between us: infinite and ever-present, fearless and compassionate, no-thing and every-thing.
It was with Yom Kippur one year ago that we - Jessica Caplan and Binny Kagedan - first embarked on this sacred adventure of song and spirit and community. And so it's an honor to invite you to join us again this year to chant, listen, reflect, share, release, renew, and celebrate the coming year.
Through devotional Hebrew and English chant, silent contemplation, sacred sound, visual journeying, free movement, and interpersonal sharing, we will support each other in abiding in our hearts on this holy day, and bringing the gifts of that encounter with us into a fresh new year. Our beloved Rebecca Stone will also guide us in a Family Constellations experience as part of the day’s ritual.
This is a non-traditional Jewish gathering, and ALL are truly welcome.
Financial exchange: $35 per adult or whatever you can contribute. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Kids welcome for free, childcare for ages 3 and up will be available (please let us know ahead of time if you'd like to be included, cost of babysitters will be shared)
LOCATION: TBD, based on numbers.
