Secular Rosh Hashanah Service September 17, 2012

[Note: Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Sept. 16.]

Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish New Year, is an ideal time for Humanistic Jews to devote to self-reflection and self-examination. Traditionally, this was a time of divine judgment and divine terror. For us, the High Holidays are an opportunity for assessment, repair, change and growth.

The children attend their own participatory program, led by our Jewish Kid School teachers, and join us for the blowing of the shofar at the end of the service. We then gather for traditional apples and honey - to bring in the sweet New Year - and a community meal.
