Come share the spirit & wisdom of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with Ad Olam.
These holy-days are a time of prayer, music, reflection and learning, a time when the veils between the worlds thins, a time of return and healing.
The services are Renewal, and inclusive in orientation, yet draw from traditional and mystical and contemporary sources.
All are welcome to come to any or all of the services. All are invited to participate and lead.
We strive for a balance of Music and spoken word. Most of the service is in English and is accessible to people of any religious background.

This will be the most alternative of our already somewhat alternative services. It will catch the essence of the Jewish Service as Rabbi Hanan teaches (WOW - WE - I - WE - WOW). It will be brief and uplifting. We will stay away from theology and God language emphasizing the emotional and spiritual dimensions.
* A sweet ritual of casting out the old by throwing of bread into the water, including songs, and prayer, has become one of the most meaningful occasions in our Ad Olam Holy Days. A song circle and potluck lunch will follow. BYO picnic or bring a "Biblically Kosher" (No Pork or Shellfish) offering to share.
