As the month of Elul arrives, we’re invited into a sacred time of reflection, renewal, and return. It’s a season of preparation. Not only spiritual, but communal. At the Ann Arbor Reconstructionist Congregation, the High Holy days are celebrated by all of us. This is what makes our community so special. Everyone has a role in making these days meaningful.
Volunteering during Elul and the High Holy days is a way to embody the spirit of teshuvah, returning to our best selves. Whether it’s helping to set up chairs, greeting people with warmth at the door, assisting with the tech for our hybrid services, or offering your voice in readings and music, each contribution helps shape the experience for our entire community.
No act is too small. In fact, it’s often in these quiet acts of service that we find the deepest connection to one another and to the spirit of the season.
We invite you to step forward this Elul and volunteer your time, your energy, your presence. Let’s prepare together, not just for the holy days, but for the kind of community we want to build all year long.
If you would like to volunteer, please check the link below. For any high holy day volunteering that is not yet listed, please email me at aarctiara@gmail.com.
