30 Days of Reflection

Your Soul Preparation Workbook For the High Holy Days Season

By Rabbi Jill Zimmerman

In this challenging year, it is more essential than ever to stop, take stock, and envision hope and renewal.

I hope you find Return: 30 Days of Reflection helpful and inspirational for your spiritual preparation for the High Holy Days. In my experience, this season is exponentially more meaningful when we engage in soul work that helps us contemplate.

It is wonderful that you are taking the time right now to stop, reflect, see what needs repair, and look at what you have learned, and look ahead with clarity.

High Holy Day Gatherings

Join us for our non-traditional High Holy Day experiences. In this difficult year, our gatherings will be tailored to address this current moment AND be joyful. We will especially embrace the themes of healing ourselves and caring for each other.

Each service includes soulful music, learning, poetry, and reflection. Note: While we draw on traditional texts and prayers. our gatherings are not traditional “services.”
