The Process of Renewal: Revisiting Our Stories of Self, Us, and Now
with Jennifer Raskas, Shalom Hartman Institute of North America
Click here to enjoy a recording of Jennifer Raskas’ session — relevant and resonant far beyond the high holidays.
An evening of writing, learning, and reflection in preparation for Yom Kippur.
Connecting to what already lies inside, as we prepare for high holidays like no other.
Join Jennifer Raskas of the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America as she walks us through an exploration of self. These holidays are a process – starting with the month of Elul, continuing through Rosh Hashanah, and culminating with Yom Kippur. As we prepare for holidays that look and feel unfamiliar, where many of us are experiencing something so intensely communal on our own – Jen will take us through a look inside to find what each of us brings to this season of renewal as individuals.
Come be with us. We need to be together this time of year.

*As always, SVIVAH welcomes anyone who wants to be included in a circle of Jewish women*. If you want to be here, we want you to be here - and welcome.
SVIVAH is dependent on the generosity of those who choose to invest in a powerful community of women. Cost should never be a barrier to participation in anything SVIVAH, but if you can help us show respect to our speakers/facilitators for their time and expertise, we would be so very grateful. www.svivah.org/donate
