Climb High this Holiday

The upcoming Holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are days that have the reputation of being the most holy days of the Jewish year.  But what are they about?  Do they commemorate historic events? (Short answer: Yes.) While we're asking questions, what, exactly is "holy?"

Good questions.  We like questions. We were privileged to have teachers that encouraged us to ask questions.  But it didn't stop there. Our teachers gave us direction.  They helped us discover that there are answers that are deeply satisfying: intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

So come!

How does it work?

Basically, all participants of the Project Shoresh Program are welcome to join in and participate in as much of the regular service as they like.  At specific moments in the service, we will announce that the Project Shoresh participants should make their way out of the main sanctuary into to a smaller room for interactive discussion groups, led by Rabbi Naftali Karp.  There will be a separate children's program.

When is the program?

The Rosh Hashana program is  on September 25 & 26.  The Yom Kippur Program will be on October 4,
