Opening Your Heart with Psalm 27
2025-08-27 09:00 - 09:45, 2025-09-05 09:00 - 09:45 | Online on Zoom
Psalms have long brought comfort to people on difficult days, hope and courage at challenging times, in both personal and communal life, for us as individuals and as Jewish people. Psalm 27 guides us through the full range of human emotions over the seven weeks surrounding Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Join Rabbi Debra Robbins to explore this sustaining and surprising Psalm throughout the sacred season. The online class includes music, writing, reflection and conversation. Please be prepared to turn on your camera as is the custom of this weekly communal gathering.
We will use Opening Your Heart with Psalm 27 by Rabbi Debra Robbins which is available at Judaic Treasures or from the CCAR Press, Opening Your Heart with Psalm 27: A Spiritual Practice for the Jewish New Year. It is also available as an e-book or as an App.
If you’d like to follow along each day here is the Reader’s Navigation Guide from CCAR Press.

NOTE: In order to have 6 sessions during this time period around the various holy days our class meets on a variety of days, but always at the same time!.
