HIGH HOLY DAYS

S'lichot STUDY

Candice and Robert Haas Visiting Scholar Lecture Series welcomes Rabbi Or N. Rose

The High Holy Day season is designed as a time for intensive introspection; a time for reflection on how we have lived the past year and how we want to live in the coming year.
Join us for a special weekend of spiritual renewal as we explore three major areas of Jewish religious life--Torah, worship, and acts of loving kindness. How do we experience each of these dimensions in our lives? Can we imagine living so that head, heart, and hands are integrated and mutually enriching?
