COME TOGETHER FOR HEALING, COMFORT AND SUPPORT ON YOM KIPPUR AFTERNOON

On this sacred day, what kinds of healing or comfort do you need?

Has it been a hard year for you physically, mentally or spiritually? The work of Yom Kippur can open up our vulnerability and this will be a time to come together in sacred community to offer healing, comfort and support.

Please join us on Thursday, October 2 at 3 p.m. when Rabbi Meir leads a special Yom Kippur afternoon healing service, which may be helpful for those who are physically ill, those in need of emotional and spiritual healing, those friends and family who care for those in need of healing, and for anyone seeking additional prayers to add meaning to their High Holy Day experience.

The service will be in the Madge Rothschild Resource Center. It will not be livestreamed.
