- Rosh Hashanah Day 2 Torah Discussion – Rabbi Josh: led the discussion “Teshuvah, Maimonides and Psychotherapy“. Using the writing of spiritual teacher Estelle Frankel, we explored Maimonides’ ideas of the basic steps of teshuvah from a psychotherapeutic framework.
- Kol Nidre – Rabbi Daria: “A Bee on the Knee: Courage and Teshuvah.” Every year at this season, one of the central High Holy day prayers lifts up the importance of the Jewish practice of teshuvah. What does this practice actually ask of us, and what is the vision of possibility it holds out for us?
- Yom Kippur Day – Rabbi Josh: “Striving for Sacred Speech that Does No Harm: Yom Kippur and Beyond.” In this sermon, Rabbi Josh discussed some of the issues of Jewish speech ethics related to our Yom Kippur liturgy and focused on the contemporary example of micro-aggressions.
