High Holy Days of Awe 2025
Yamim Nora’im 5786 // ימים נוראים תשׁפ”ו
Join us at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in NYC or online, to co-create community and activate a new year with renewed focus on what matters most.
TIKKUN / תיקון
Return to Repair.
In 5786, we rise again, guided by our people’s age-old resilience, ready to restart the annual journey of reflection and return to our best selves, to show up and to repair. Much more than a familiar quote or cliche – Tikkun or Tikkun Olam does not just mean that it’s on us to fix the world – it’s a more complex and nuanced concept that has evolved along with us over millennia, challenging us to course correct with courage and compassion, towards the transformations that will nurture trust and hope, bring peace and justice – for generations.
Immerse in meaningful, musical and meditative celebrations that fuse our oldest liturgies with contemporary art, engaging learning programs, and communal conversations.

Join us in reciting the Shehecheyanu, as we did this weekend during Unscrolled for Simchat Torah.
A blessing: In the Presence of the Infinite,
we pause with gratitude for the journeys
that have brought us here and now.
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו רוח העולם
שהחינו וקימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה
As we close this High Holy Season rooted in Tikkun: return to repair — we give thanks for reaching this moment: together.
With a breath held for two years, we exhale into relief, renewal, and resolve — beginning 5786 committed to the ongoing work of justice, healing, and the prayer for lasting peace.
Peace שלום سلام

As we enter into Shabbat this week with many tender feelings about the current news and the close of this years our High Holy Days, we are brought back to Rabbi @amichailaulavie’s powerful sermon about how to fix the broken bridges from Yom Kippur.
This is just one moment. Watch his full sermon in full via the YOUTUBE link in our bio or visit: https://youtu.be/FeMNri-aqZc?si=fCfPComPlZp2Exc5

“What is our hopeful vision for next year?”…
We asked this of Rabbi @amichailaulavie during our Yom Kippur “Courageous Conversation for this New Jewish Year“ program…
For him, a better year ahead was about taking off the tag that he’s been wearing around his neck like so many others, for two years - the tag that says ‘My heart is captive in Gaza’, created by the Hostage families to never forget the suffering and keep working for their release and the end of the war.
With the big news of ceasefire and return — Will these tags now become souvenirs of suffering and aspiration? Nothing will bring back the dead and lessen the pain; but, maybe from this moment we can rise with more compassion, courage, resilience and commitment to deep systemic changes, justice and equality, peace and hope?
Shabbat Shalom. Let peace prevail.

Unscrolled: We Begin Again
A Simchat Torah Gathering
Sunday, October 12th, 2025
1:45 – 4:30 pm
Brooklyn*
Join the @labshul and @kane_street communities, all ages, to wrap up the High Holy Days with sacred gathering that weaves Sukkot and Simchat Torah with a circle ritual of healing, hope and peace.
The festive holiday of Simchat Torah is now forever marked with the tragedy of October 7th and the unimaginable death and destruction of these past years. On this day we’ll gather to gain strength from our ancestral wisdom and from each other as we unscroll the Torah to begin our sacred story again, with new intentions, celebrating life, choosing peace for all.
This ancient-renewed ritual will be led by Rabbi @amichailaulavie, @naomiless1, Rabbi Beni Summers and additional guest ritualists and musicians.
Special activities for Children’s Program led by educator @kladysteve.
All ages, all faiths. Open, free and accessible to all.
Registration required.
*Address given upon registration.
