Sunday was an amazing day at Mount Zion! The building was bustling with so many community members for learning sessions led by clergy to prepare for the High Holy Days, faculty and madrichim for Religious School trainings, folks from local faith communities who visited Mount Zion as part of a tour of houses of worship, and so many more! The highlight of the day was Shofar On The Roof, a new favorite High Holy Day tradition where our clergy wore their white robes and our baalei tekiah blew the shofar from the roof! It was a great kick-off to the High Holy Days, and we hope to see you Friday for Rosh Hashanah. | |

Service of Healing and Reflection
September 17, 11:00 am
This hour-long service is for everyone, not just those dealing with illness. Based on High Holy day themes and enhanced with the soothing sounds of harp and flute and punctuated by the sounding of the shofar, this service offers a sacred space for reflection about what we need to feel more whole in the coming year. We moved this service for this year from Yom Kippur afternoon to its own day to make it possible for more to attend.
