High Holy Days @Home
This year, the High Holy Days will take place in two places at once: Online, in the the sacred space we'll create together, and at home, the space where our everyday lives take place. Revelation and awe can find us anywhere, of course, but home, amid the dishes and the laundry, is not usually the place we expect to find them.
Just as we'll make space in our days for services, singing and fasting over the coming10 Days of Awe, we can make space in our homes for reflection, questioning, contemplation and awe. There's an obvious parallel here to the situation faced by the rabbis after the destruction of the Temple -- and we can borrow their solution of creating small holy spaces wherever we find ourselves, at home and in exile.
The resources we've gathered here all relate to the idea of High Holy Days at home. There are resources for creating a literal space in your home where you can be (with your computer) while you're tapped into our sacred space online. Others show you how to do at home what we usually do together: Taschlich, Rosh Hashanah seders, and activities designed to open us to the possiblity of change and growth. We hope you enjoy them.
