We invite you to join this group, led by Jonathan Silver, as we search for deeper kavannah (intention) in our prayers, ritual practice, and weekly Torah portion.
High Holy Days 101
Whether you are well-versed in High Holy Day traditions and prayer or just beginning your exploration, Senior Rabbinic Fellow Joe Blumberg will guide us through the essential prayers and practices, helping us find personal meaning and intention for this sacred season.
Elul and the Aging Process
This season invites us to engage in forgiveness, accept our mortality, and envision the year ahead. As we grow older, these themes resonate differently. Join BJ member Linda Thal, co-author of Wise Aging, to reflect on this meaningful time.
