Shabbat Shalom friends! This Shabbat marks the special period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and is known as Shabbat Shuvah - or the Shabbat of Return. As we journey towards Yom Kippur, we wish you a return to peace, a return to presence, and a return to yourself. ✨🦋🙏

Did Yom Kippur sneak up on you? Totally fine! Check out our high holiday guide for all the things to do…and there’s plenty more holidays coming up to fill your calendar (hello Sukkot and Simchat Torah). See ya' out there! 🔗 in bio for all the deets.

Yom Kippur is in five short days, and whether you’re ready or not—we’ve got you covered.

Looking for a personal, immersive, and non-traditional way to observe the holiday with other DMV 20s/30s? Gather’s Alt YK still has space! Tap the link in our bio to register for a meaningful morning of reflection, ritual, and conversation, exploring what this last year brought us—and how we can look ahead to 5783.

Tashlich can be an incredibly liberating ritual. Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, many Jews go to a body of water where they toss old breadcrumbs or small rocks, symbolizing where we’ve missed the mark this year. If you’re looking for a community to partake in this ritual with, join Gather, @rodef2100 , and @moho_mosaicfairfax this Sunday to cast away those regrets.
⏰ 11:00 a.m.
📆 Sunday, October 2nd

You’ve had some apples. 🍎 You’ve had some honey. 🍯 Now what? …. …. …. Y'all, we are ONE week away from Yom Kippur! (We know; we can't believe it either.) If you’re not sure what to do or where to go, come spend the morning with us at Alt YK. Register at 🔗 in our bio. Can’t wait to see you there!
