Ner Shalom’s Nitzanim Family Services - 5786

 Nitzanim High Holy Days ~ Rosh Hashanah Service 5786: Planted Like A Tree Beside Divided Waters

This year we enter the High Holy Days with a mind toward rooting deeper, reaching higher, and connecting with each other at root and branch levels. How can we engage our roots to hold us firmly? How can we stand strong for justice, with enough bend so as not to break? How can we be sustained by waters that are deeper than the divided streams rushing past? How can we weep like willows, and still flower and give fruit to this world?

Together we will lean into the words of Psalm 1: Those who resist the counsel of the wicked shall be like trees planted beside waters of division – thriving, giving fruit in its season, bearing leaves that don’t fade.

Family Activities

Join us for our beautiful and unorthodox doings at Ner Shalom. We invite families who have joined or are considering joining our Nitzanim programs this year to come together, sing, pray, and play! Family High Holy Day activities are offered at no charge.

Following our Family Service on Rosh Hashanah, there will be learning and activities, followed by a Shofar Service. On Yom Kippur, the Family Service will be followed by a creative "Storahtelling" service with the full congregation at no additional cost.
