According to the High Holiday machzor (prayerbook) there are three things that aid in securing a place in the Book of Life: repentance for missteps, prayerfulness, and giving to those in need. Whether or not you are compelled by the idea of a Book of Life—or even believe in a G!d who takes accounting of all people at this time of year—these three ways of engaging in age-old Jewish customs, repeated throughout the yamim noraim (the days of Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur), can enhance your understanding of yourself and the world.
Through three sessions, dive into these three categories and consider what makes them essential to spiritual growth and well-being. Bring your lunch (we provide snacks and beverages) and join others for a three-week lunch-and-learn as we get more connected to the “three T’s” of the season and, maybe, get a few ideas for how to get ready for the High Holidays before they arrive.
