Lunch & Learn: Decoding the Machzor: Making Meaning of the High Holy Day Liturgy
Tuesday, August 12, 2025 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Taught by Rabbi Ashira Boxman
Together, we will open the Machzor and explore the most powerful and familiar prayers of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. As we prepare for the High Holy Days, this journey will deepen our connection to the words we recite and uncover layers of meaning that can inspire a more intentional and heartfelt experience of the season.
