You are invited into a soul-filled online High Holy Day experience—we meet live online so you can join from wherever you are. After a year that has asked so much of us, we need a gentle way in—wisdom, comfort, and space to simply be. Together we will hear wonderful poetry, sit with meaningful texts, and experience guided meditation between poems, letting each one settle before we move to the next.

Join Rabbi Jill Zimmerman and Rabbi Francine Roston for three hours of poetry and meditation, offered across two gatherings.

Theme for the second gathering: Forgiveness. On Yom Kippur, we turn toward forgiveness, held through three meditations: forgiving ourselves, forgiving others, and receiving forgiveness—reflecting Judaism’s distinct understanding that some repair happens between us and each other, and some between us and the Divine. We will draw on the poetry of Alicia Ostriker, Mary Oliver, Yehuda Amichai, and Marge Piercy to sit with release, repair, and return.
