Being our Prayer--preparing our minds and bodies for the High Holy Days

"BEING OUR PRAYER: preparing our bodies and minds for the Jewish New Year/Days of Awe. We will use creative movement and music to explore the depth of several benedictions of the Amidah, the prayer that expresses basic yearnings of humankind. We call out (Sh'ma) and listen, ponder our names (Avot) and connections with our ancestors, look at holiness, and repentance, to forgiveness. All denominations and levels of participation are welcome.
