Saturday, September 13, 2025 • 20 Elul 5785

4:00 PM - 5:00 PMWingra Park, 824 Knickerbocker St., Madison

Join us as we welcome the High Holy Day season with a unique and spiritual experience on the water. Bring your kayak, canoe, paddleboard—or anything that floats—and meet us in the center of Lake Wingra for a brief, meaningful gathering to mark the entrance to the Days of Awe.

Together, surrounded by the beauty of nature and community, we’ll reflect and hear the sound of the shofar echo across the water.

All ages welcome—come float into 5786 with intention and inspiration.

After paddling, we will gather in the area of the Wingra Boats building that faces Wingra Park for snacks and schmoozing.

Canoes, paddle boards, kayaks, and more are available for rent through Wingra Boats. We recommend arriving by 3:30 pm if you are planning on renting.
