Led by BJ’s new rabbinic fellow, Iliana Brodsky, we’ll explore how comfort and consolation are expressed in our tradition, and consider how embracing comfort as a spiritual posture can deepen our preparation for the High Holy Days.

This is a space for parents to reflect on their own High Holy Day intentions and prepare mind, body, and soul to have a meaningful prayer experience with their children.

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.

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.

Join Hazzan Ari Priven, as we prepare for the Yamim Nora’im by singing new and old melodies that we’ll hear throughout the High Holy Days.
