We are gathering to mark and celebrate the return of the living hostages and to pray for the return of the remaining bodies of the hostages. Even though everything feels complicated, we think it is important to take time and express gratitude for some of the miraculousness of this moment.
The gathering will be structured around Hallel, a prayer of praise and thanksgiving, literally meaning “praise” in Hebrew. It consists of six specific psalms (113-118) that are recited together on joyous holidays, such as Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot, and Hanukkah, as well as a shortened version recited every month on Rosh Chodesh. Our wonderful teachers will share a part of Hallel that is meaningful to them and how it connects for them to this wild time in our Jewish history.
Please join us for this gathering of Torah and song and thanksgiving. After coming together so many times over these past two years in prayer and pain, we want to take a moment for gratitude together as a community. We are grateful to have voices from Israel and the global Jewish community join this gathering. Come when you can, stay till you can’t. But, come. Let’s be together.
With Rabba Anat Sharbat, Rabbi Cantor Hillary Chorny, Rabbanit Maayan Rabinovich, Rabbanit Dalia Davis and Rabbanit Aliza Sperling.
