We are offering anyone who wants to enter the building alone, or in a pod, during Yom Kippur afternoon for the purpose of standing before the Ark in prayer. You will be awed by our spacious, renewed sanctuary, and have your own quiet time in our holy space.
Those who choose to come in will need to register in advance for a 15-minute slot. You will be asked to wear a mask. We request that when you come in, you limit yourself to entering the sanctuary for your slot and then leave the building.
For health reasons, these sessions are being offered by appointment only on a first-come first-served basis.
Preregistration is required as space is limited.
The world needs healing right now, and many of us feel called to the cause. As we grapple with our own fears and personal exhaustion, how do we continue to repair the world? We won’t promise you answers in 45 minutes, but we’ll offer a supportive space for reflection and discussion.
