SUMMARY:The Journey of Teshuvah & Runway to the High Holy Days
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Shabbat Shuvah Service
DESCRIPTION:The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called Shabbat Shuvah — “The Shabbat of Return.” The high holiday season can feel full of words and liturgy. This Shabbat aims to balance that with holy quiet. This year we’ll return to our deepest selves with a gentle contemplative service featuring minimal liturgy\, ample time to let our melodies soak in\, and periods of holy silence to “seal” each chant. Mourner’s Kaddish will be recited in full. \nAll are welcome to join us onsite\, but you must RSVP via our website if you plan on attending. Service will still be available online for those who wish to participate on Zoom; please check our weekly announcements for Zoom information.

All are welcome! \nThose who wish to attend onsite must RSVP via our website.
