Yom Kippur

---

🫶 As we gather in prayer, song, and stillness, we are reminded that we do not walk this path alone. We belong to a community that holds space for healing and hope.

Yom Kippur culminates the Ten Days of Repentance, a journey of reflection and renewal that invites us to forgive, grow, and come home to what matters most.

🙏 Rituals like Kol Nidre, fasting, and the final blast of the shofar anchor us in tradition and connect us across generations.

Together, as we enter 5786, may we find strength in our shared purpose and comfort in knowing that we are part of something greater than ourselves.

✨ G’mar Chatimah Tovah. May you be sealed for a good, meaningful, and connected year.
