Sacred Space for Sacred Preparation

Thursdays, August 13, 20, 27 and September 3 from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
The month of Elul is a sacred threshold, a season of preparation that invites us to pause between what has been and what is yet to come. As we stand at the doorway of a new year, we are called to reflect on who we have been, who we are becoming, and what we hope to carry forward into 5787.
Throughout Elul, the doors of our sacred spaces will be open, creating space for quiet reflection, personal prayer, and sacred intention. Come and stand in front of the open ark, in the presence of our Torah scrolls. Bring your hopes, your questions, your gratitude, and your longings for the year to come. Allow yourself to linger in the stillness, to listen deeply, and to notice what is stirring within.
May this time offer a moment to reconnect with your truest self and to open your heart to the possibilities that await. Come Alone. Come with Family. Come with a Friend.
