SUMMARY:Alaska Backpacking Trip: Resurrection Pass Trail with Lech Lecha Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable 6-day backpacking adventure through the wild landscapes of Alaska on the legendary Resurrection Pass Trail — one of the state’s most spectacular long-distance routes. Together\, we’ll trek through alpine valleys\, mountain ridges\, glacial rivers\, and remote backcountry terrain\, carrying everything we need on our backs as we experience the raw beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.  \nExpect long summer days\, breathtaking scenery\, mountain lakes\, campfires\, meaningful conversations\, and nights spent sleeping beneath the northern sky. \nThis is the only shomer-Shabbat\, kosher-friendly backpacking trip in Alaska. Led by Alaska local Josh Goldstein\, the journey is designed to combine authentic wilderness adventure with Jewish community and spiritual connection.  \nAlongside a small group of like-minded Jews\, we’ll disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect — to ourselves\, to nature\, to each other\, and to G-d.  \nOur programs are shomer-Shabbat and kosher-friendly\, and we warmly welcome participants of all backgrounds and levels of religious observance. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Lech-Lecha Journeys \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:High Holidays Cheat Code: Understanding Services from the Inside with Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:6:00 pm: Happy Hour\n6:30 pm: Class begins \nGoing to High Holiday services without any background can feel like seeing a movie in a language you don’t speak—you can feel the power of it\, but you’re mostly watching other people be moved by something you can’t quite access. \nIn this class led by guest Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block\, who will co-lead this year’s High Holiday services with Rabbi Jenna\, learn about the structure\, symbolism\, and theology of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—the architecture of the prayerbook\, the meaning behind the central prayers\, what the shofar is actually trying to do to you\, and why the whole experience is more psychologically sophisticated than it might look. You’ll walk away with new eyes for one of the most powerful ritual experiences in Judaism. \nCome early for happy hour to toast to a new year and meet new people (maybe even someone to sit next to at services). \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Sixth & I \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
