This Elul, we will come together in community for four weeks of study, conversation, and practice to stir our hearts and minds and prepare our souls to meet the Jewish New Year of 5786. Each year, the High Holidays usher us into a time of fresh starts and rebirth, and the Hebrew month of Elul is our time to step back, ask the questions that are sitting on our hearts, examine our lives, our relationships, our work, and reach for practices and habits that will guide us towards our better selves in the year ahead. 

This year, we will use the beautiful verses that are said when we wrap ourselves in tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillin (phylacteries) in morning prayer as a doorway to explore heartful questions: what do I want to wrap around myself in the coming year? Which relationships? Which habits? Which values and ideals? To what and to whom am I bound?

Each week, we will open up a different theme and explore nourishing texts - Jewish and secular - to help us do this deep work and get ready to meet the New Year.

All are welcome.
