Shabbat Shuvah (the “Sabbath of Return”) falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, offering a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the holiest day of the Jewish year.

Join our community for a meaningful Friday evening of prayer, music, and reflection as we continue the spiritual journey that began on Rosh Hashanah. Together we’ll explore themes of teshuvah (return and renewal), forgiveness, gratitude, and the possibilities that emerge when we make space for personal growth.

The morning service will also include a Shabbat Shuvah sermon from Rabbi Ariel, offering insight and inspiration as we prepare for Yom Kippur.

Whether you’ve been observing the High Holy Days for years or are joining us for the first time, you’ll find a warm and welcoming community as we prepare together for Yom Kippur.
