Rosh Hashanah Day

  • Congregation Ner Shalom 85 La Plaza Cotati, CA, 94931 United States (map)

We move deeper into the flow of the Holy Days, listening closely to the needs of our souls. The day will take place in several segments to create more spaciousness and allow us to move away from the screens, step outdoors, and appreciate this ever-birthing world.

MEDITATIVE SERVICE – 9:00 AM
Led by Leiah Bowden

Breathe, settle in, wake up, and open yourself as a channel of the Divine. (1 hour)

MORNING SERVICE – 10:30 AM
Led by Reb Irwin and Friends
We celebrate Shabbat and the New Year with song, movement and joy. A fleet of Ner Shalomers will read Torah, carrying us through the creation of humanity and the Garden in Eden, and the outpouring of our primordial rivers from it. (90 minutes)

SHOFAR SERVICE – 1:00 PM
Led by Reb Irwin and Friends
Together we journey through a series of reflections, and seal our intentions with calls of the shofar, blown by many fine Ner Shalom shofaristas.  (40 minutes)

 

TASHLICH –2:30 PM
Led by Shoshana Fershtman and Barbara Lesch McCaffry
Join us for this very affecting ritual, in which we let go of what holds us back by casting seeds into water. Have a bowl of water and a few seeds or crumbs of bread ready.  (40 minutes)
