Rosh Hashanah 5778: "Drawing Nourishment and Strength from the Wellsprings of Life." A Way In will be offering a Second Day Rosh HaShanah Mindfulness service, Friday, September 22, 9 AM to 1 PM.
Honoring the creation of the world and the interdependence of all life we, will reach deeply to realign our souls so that each of us and all of us together can bring forth blessings and healing for each other, our communities, country and planet.
Traditional liturgy will be surrounded with silence and opportunities for reflection. We will awaken ourselves with mindful movement and song and rise into the calls of the shofar. Everyone is welcome, no tickets required.
