ReNewYear High Holy Day Service

This High Holy Day service meets on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur. It runs parallel to the first part of the Sanctuary service, and is a shorter service, both upbeat and contemplative. The prayers are recited musically in new versions and styles, and new ways of looking at old rituals and words. All ages are welcome! Led by congregants Laura Hegfield and Liz Macedo, and Rabbi Jon. Inspired by our first ReNewYear leader and teacher, Eliana Light. (TBA Tent and Zoom)
