SUMMARY:Shabbat Morning Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Shabbat morning as we celebrate Shabbat with prayer\, song\, and poetry. We’ll hear some words of Torah (and some words about Torah) as we bask in Shabbat’s sweetness. Our spiritual tools include traditional liturgy\, contemporary poetry\, chant\, and song… as well as the spectacular views from our sanctuary\, which connect us with the natural world and with our Source. \nService will still be available online for those who wish to participate on Zoom; those joining digitally are invited to purchase a digital copy of the siddur if you’d like to follow along.

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\n☆ 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. \nRegistration 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.)
