2:00 PM - LET’S BE TOGETHER
Led by Erika Sasson and Sylvia Stein
Join us for a welcoming afternoon of conversation, connection, and reflection. Whether or not you joined us on Erev Rosh Hashanah, come meet others in the community, share in small-group conversations, and reflect together as we step into the new year.
3:15 PM - BEING JEWISH IN THIS MOMENT
Led by New Shul Philosopher-in-Residence Dr. David Ponet
Join us for a conversation about the conundrum facing the New York Jewish community as we navigate today’s confusing landscape: the rise of antisemitism on both the left and the right, alongside our anguish over the actions of the State of Israel.
4:30 PM - STORYTELLING CIRCLE WITH THE ANCESTORS
Led by Lizzie Berne DeGear
Fasting enhances mystical experience — so what better time than Yom Kippur to connect with our ancient ancestors? Lizzie, a member of The New Shul’s Rosh Chodesh “wise woman circle,” will lead us in encountering the women storytellers behind the Bible and sharing our own stories, too.
5:30 PM - PIYUTTIM VeNIGGUNIM
Led by Rabbi Misha Shulman, Ritual Director Daphna Mor, and Frank London
Study an ancient liturgical poem and then come together in song as we prepare to enter the final hours of Yom Kippur.
