For this coming holiday season, we will host inspiring and uplifting worship online. You and your family will have options of participating in conveniently scheduled online worship and study times through either interactive or livestreaming platforms.
 
We will hear familiar sounds of the holidays, from the blasts of the shofar to Kol Nidrei, from Yizkor to Vidui (Confession). We will recognize with our entire being that these holidays have arrived despite the different setting of our worship. Together, we will transform our home viewing areas to places of sanctity and refuge. Not even this virus will prevent us from observing these special days with joy and meaning.

Below you will find the milestones along the journey to transformation. Each holiday or observance is paired with a step. Choose from any of our events, programs, workshops, and worship experiences to participate in, listed along with each step.

Yom Kippur: September 27–28, 2020
STEP 6: RENEWAL AND TRANSFORMATION

T’shuvah—return—asks who we will become in the future. While couched mainly in the language of petition and supplication, the prayers of forgiveness ask for the strength to change, to renew and transform ourselves into a better version. In the words of Psalm 51:12: “Create a pure heart for me, O God; renew in me a steadfast spirit.”
