Title
High Holy Day Plans Update
Description
In previous High Holy Days, our focus has been primarily on communal prayer experiences. We come together with our community to pray as one. Since this year this will not be possible, we will be encouraging our community to create a greater and more intentional prayer life/relationship with God. Additionally, while our focus has been on prayer, the Unetaneh Tokef prayer reminds us that it is repentance, prayer, and tzedakah that have the power to avert the severity of the decree. What would it mean to put a greater focus on creating our best selves and actualizing a better world than simply on prayer? We have a number of ideas on how to actualize this idea. We may provide opportunities for people to reserve time by themselves or with their families at the Ark at the synagogue before and after the holidays. We will create modules and materials to be utilized by individuals and families on the High Holy Days to encourage deeper, valuable conversations and action plans around social justice and personal betterment
