Course Description

From September 1st-22nd, 2009. This course is no longer available.

The time leading up to the High Holidays - Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur - is traditionally a time for introspection and growth. While there are many customs and practices surrounding the holidays, there is a lot more to them than mere tradition, and in fact a lot of meaning to be found in them. Tune in for this seried of classes and you won't get bored in synagogue services again!

The acknowledgement of God as sovereign, that memory is important, and the shofar which is how Rosh Hashanah is defined in the Torah. We will look at examples of the verses from the liturgy and see what they mean and what that has to do with us.

Webex

In many ways Rosh Hashanah is a time of conflicting messages. Are we celebrating, or are we contemplating? The answer is yes! There is no holiday as emotionally complex, an spiritually ambiguous as Rosh Hashanah. Tonight we will ritually unpack how to integrate these seemingly conflicting emotions into a rich, rewarding experience of being truly renewed.
