Shabbat Shuva

---

✨ Growth Begins with Possibility!

Shabbat Shuva is a meaningful moment in the Jewish year. It falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, during the Ten Days of Awe. This sacred time invites us to reflect on our actions, seek forgiveness, and open our hearts to change.

We don’t do this alone. Shabbat Shuva reminds us that personal growth is nurtured in community, where connection brings strength, healing, and renewal.

⛱️ Meaningful moments by the shore.

In Jewish tradition, water symbolizes cleansing, renewal, and return. Standing beside the ocean, we are reminded that we can begin again. The rhythm of the waves, the fresh air, and the beauty of nature create space for peace, introspection, prayer, and perspective.

At Temple Adat Elohim, it is our tradition to welcome Shabbat Shuva at the beach as we embrace the spirit of this sacred time: calm, open, and full of possibility. We let go of the past, look towards the future with hope, and are reminded that we are not alone.

Bring yourself, your family, or your friends and join us in a setting filled with meaning, beauty, and community. All are welcome!
