Worth a Thousand Words: Spiritual Imagery of the High Holy Days

August 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Worth a Thousand Words: Spiritual Imagery of the High Holy Days; July 28–September 8, 2026; Tuesdays at 7pm–8:30pm on Zoom; free for members, $120 for guests.

Join Rabbi Rachel Barenblat (Congregation Beth Israel of the Berkshires) and Rabbi David Markus (Congregation Shir Ami of Greenwich, CT) for our third annual joint runway to the High Holy Days to prepare heart and soul for the journey of inner transformation! Sessions will be held via Zoom every Tuesday at 7pm (EDT) from July 28 through September 8.

This year we’ll immerse in the spiritual imagery of the High Holy Day liturgy – the visions of humanity, divinity, morality, and transcendence that liturgy’s words seek to rouse in us. Visual, musical, and poetic renderings will aim to deepen our personal experience of prayer and this season’s ancestral call of teshuvah (repentance, return).

Topics will include core liturgies such as Avinu Malkeinu, Kol Nidre, Unetaneh Tokef, Psalm 27, Avodah (Purification), and Neilah.


☆ If you are interested in participating but did not previously register, please contact Rabbi Rachel as soon as possible. Zoom info will only be sent to those who register in advance.

Registration Fee: Free for members of CBI & Shir Ami; $18 per session for non-members. (Non-members can pay online via PayPal — please select “Adult Education Programs” from the dropdown list.)
