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
