The Days of Awe - Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the days in between – form a tapestry of beauty, depth and meaning for the inner life. Unfortunately, some of this magnificent tapestry is lost in the structure of High Holy Days services.
In these two sessions, Rabbi Finley will describe the inner depths of the high holy days and offer guidance (including book recommendations) for your inner work practice during these days.

6 - 7:30 PM PST
ROSH HASHANAH
Drawing from Hassidic sources, Rabbi Finley will teach about the spiritual dimensions of the courtroom drama, our signatures on the book of our deeds, the metaphor of the shofar, and the power of return, meditative practice and righteous giving in changing our lives. Time permitting, we will also discuss the narratives of Hagar (Genesis Ch. 21) and the attempted sacrifice of Isaac (Genesis Ch. 22).

6 - 7:30 PM PST
YOM KIPPUR
Yom Kippur, the “day of expiation,” is like a great Mikvah, when all the obstructions between ourselves and other people, and between ourselves and the divine can be washed away. We will study the hidden meaning of Kol Nidrei, the transformational power of confession. Of special importance will be the readings from the prophets for Yom Kippur in the odd satire of the book of Jonah.
