AARC Yom Kippur practice is to have afternoon sessions of learning, discussion, meditation, and song between the morning service which ends about 2pm and our community Yizkor service, which begins at 4:45pm. The hour long sessions are at 2:30 to 3:30pm and 3:30 to 4:30pm.
Meditation Workshop led by Anita Rubin-Meiller
2:30-3:30pm
Yom Kippur is the ideal time to grow in our connection with ourselves. This time of guided meditation will focus on fostering gratitude and self-compassion. I will draw on Jewish resources for both. If you’d like to, bring a journal to write reflections in after each meditation. There will also be time for sharing.
Sing, Chant, Walk led by Deb Kraus
2:30-3:30pm
For the past two years on Yom Kippur afternoon, I have found myself outside with other members, singing and chanting our way through the afternoon between services. It’s been deeply meaningful to us, and a great way to pass the time. You are welcome to join us for all or part of this time. I’ll provide some song sheets but we will also have machzors nearby to aid us in our efforts. We’ll meet outside if we can and inside if we can’t.
