SUMMARY:Tisha b’Av 5786 | Zoom Only
DESCRIPTION:☆ To join us ONLINE\, please click here to register via Zoom. \n\nJoin us online at 8pm on Wednesday\, July 22 for a new Tisha b’Av program designed to open our hearts to feeling and prepare our spirits for transformation. We’ll encounter some laments both traditional and contemporary (including selections from Eikha / Lamentations and some new contemporary poems of lament)\, and then Rabbi Rachel will guide the group in writing our own laments to express what’s on our hearts in this year of so many kinds of sorrow – political\, environmental\, communal\, personal. This communal deep dive into allowing ourselves to feel the brokenness of our world is tradition’s necessary precursor to the spiritual ascent toward the Days of Awe. \nThis program will be held on Zoom only; Zoom information will be provided to those who register in advance.

SUMMARY:Worth a Thousand Words: Spiritual Imagery of the High Holy Days
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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). \nTopics will include core liturgies such as Avinu Malkeinu\, Kol Nidre\, Unetaneh Tokef\, Psalm 27\, Avodah (Purification)\, and Neilah. \n☆ Free for members of CBI and Shir Ami; $120 for non-members. Zoom information will be sent to those who register in advance\, so please be sure to register using your primary email address.
