​Rabbi Maurice Harris, Associate Director for Thriving Communities and Israel Affairs Specialist, shares a powerful message for this moment.

Rabbi Daria Jacobs-Velde shares a timely teaching for the High Holidays.

“Together we will recite / the only prayer this New Year; / the prayer home.”

“Return is always possible.”

“May my past deeds, / The best and worst of me / Bring me back to the Wholeness…”

“With kindness, hope and strength Trusting in your process / May your insights become clear / Lifting you back to Divine Wisdom…”

“Where else, But in the love, The shalom That is HaShem, Can I find my comfort?”

“Today, mirroring the primordial, cosmic Creation Moment, we renew this connection; / we renew and refresh ourselves with teshuvah…”

“We are kernels of possibility Vessels of tart-sweet juice…”

Dedicated to Linda Hirschhorn and inspired by her sermon on Unetaneh Tokef 5765
