The Journey of Teshuvah & Runway to the High Holy Days

August 13 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The Journey of Teshuvah & Runway to the High Holy Days 5785

Join us for a seven-week (and eight-class) journey of preparation for the Days of Awe, co-taught on Zoom by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat with Rabbi David Evan Markus of Congregation Shir Ami. On seven Tuesday nights from just after Tisha B’Av (August 12) until just before Rosh Hashanah (October 2), we’ll meet to discuss Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg’s On Repentance and Repair, now available in paperback. The reading will also be keyed to the inner journey through seven core qualities we seek to strengthen as we prepare for the new year. We’ll study Rambam’s writings on teshuvah (c. 1176) alongside R. Danya’s book as we each undertake our own journey of repentance and return.

This course is free for members and $120 for non-members; to register, please click here. Classes will meet weekly on Tuesdays over Zoom at 7pm (EDT) from August 13 through September 24. The final class will be held in-person only at CBI on Saturday, October 12 (Yom Kippur) at 3pm — all are welcome to attend, even if you didn’t attend any of the previous sessions. If you have any questions, please contact Rabbi Rachel.
