Yom Kippur, Saturday, October 12th, 10 am. This, the highest/deepest Holy Day of our calendar, we note where we as individuals and as a community, look within to see where and how we  have 'missed the mark' and not lived up to our most elevated ideals. We  are invited to divorce ourselves as completely as humanly possible from the mundane world in which we live, in order to devote ourselves with all our hearts and minds to our relationship with the  Flow of Blessing. Refraining from eating or drinking, making love or wearing leather, this is the quintessential sacred 26 hours of  embodied mindfulness. You are encouraged to dress in white!

Kol Nidre: Friday, October 11th, 5:30 pm. It’s Shabbas, too! Please arrive a little early, to get settled so we can begin promptly at 5:30 pm. We enter into our most purposeful prayer on the eve of Yom Kippur.  A quiet, sacred time that initiates some of the deepest probing of who we are as individuals and as a community, it is filled with what might be called real soul music. We invite you to dress in white.

Tashlich And Shofar blowing Thursday, October 3rd, 4 pm
Rock Point Retreat Center

Join us at Rock Point where we'll engage in the ritual which encourages us to reflect on the poignant memories of last year and enter into the new year. We will ritually cast off, of our regrets, inviting us to a deepening commitment for a new year of possibility and connection. Bring weather gear if necessary; we’ll collect rocks at the water’s edge to toss upon the waters. A short evening service will follow our Tashlich. Do you have a shofar? a conch shell? Bring them!

Rosh HaShanna, Day 1, October 3rd, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

We will gather in awe and wonder at the New Year which celebrates Creation and offers us the chance to begin a focused 10-day journey to renewal. Filled with song and stories, new tunes and traditional melodies for this potent Holy Day, we cultivate a spirit of forgiveness, for ourselves and others,  through prayer, open-hearted singing, and times of silence.

We’ll gather in the Parlor at the UU.

Please do not park in the lot behind the building, but rather, use public parking on the streets and in the parking garages.

let's continue creating our RhM community.

We’re creating this space to allow and encourage what's most meaningful,

most juicy, most difficult to emerge in the moment.

No pre-determined plan.

An environment where we get to explore and practice

what's involved in becoming fully alive.
