Led by Reb Irwin
The High Holy Days feature deep and memorable prayers and poetry. For many of us these words, melodies, and rhythms are in our bones – we understand the feel of these texts without knowing quite what they mean. For others of us, these prayers are all new – mysteries waiting to be opened. Join us as we explore the history, meaning, and psycho-spiritual landscape of some of the Days of Awe’s most beautiful words and listen to them in their musical settings.
