High Holy Days 5785 - A Time of Self-Renewal

These High Holy Days offer us a profound opportunity for self-renewal, a time to look inward with honesty and compassion, to reconnect with our deepest values, and to realign our lives with our highest aspirations.

Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of this journey, a time to renew our commitment to growth, to envision the person we wish to become, and to set forth on the path of transformation. It is a time to celebrate the possibilities of a new year, to gather strength from our community, and to feel the hope that comes with a fresh start.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, deepens this process of renewal. It is a time for sincere introspection, for seeking forgiveness from others and from ourselves, and for releasing the burdens of guilt and regret. In this sacred space, we are given the chance to let go of what no longer serves us, and to emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.

This year, let the High Holy Days be more than a ritual—let them be a transformative experience. Embrace the opportunity for self-renewal, to turn inward and rediscover the strength, wisdom, and compassion within you. As we gather together as a community, may we support one another in this journey of reflection, forgiveness, and renewal, and step into the new year with open hearts and a renewed spirit.

Kabbalat Shabbat Service

Our Shabbat services are offered online (see it on our App, Download here!) and in-person on the first and third Fridays of every month at 7pm PST. The services will be livestreamed here and in-person at Center for Spiritual Living at 6318 Linden Ave N, Seattle.

Shabbat services are the perfect entry point not only to explore Jewish tradition and spirituality through ancient and modern prayers and practices, but to take a break from the hectic pace of our busy lives and gather together to remember that we are human *beings* and not just human *doings.*
