For many, the High Holidays arrive each year with the promise of awe and renewal, yet too often leave us feeling disconnected, uninspired, or unsure how the prayers and traditions relate to our lives today. Whether you are new to the experience or have celebrated these days for decades, this course offers a way to break free from routine and rediscover the depth, beauty, and transformative power of the High Holidays. Through 7-10 minutes of guided daily practice, reflection, and insight, you’ll learn to engage with the Holidays in a way that feels personal, relevant, and spiritually alive—so that this sacred season truly becomes a turning point in your year.

The course will be using the book “60 Days: A Spiritual Guide to the High Holidays” – By Rabbi Simon Jacobson. Click here to read the book's preface .

What to Expect:

• Pre-Course Preparation: Before our first session, please read the introductory section of Rabbi Jacobson’s book.

• Engage in Community: Join us for four evening sessions to discuss, reflect, and deepen our understanding together.
• Daily Readings: Begin Saturday night, August 23^rd, after sunset or on Sunday, August 24^th

There is no cost to participate in this class, other than purchasing 60 Days: A Spiritual Guide for the High Holidays.
