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.

Prep with us for High Holy Days with PREPENT – our annual month-long journey of daily digital insights leading into the new Jewish year. This year’s theme, “Tools of Tikkun: 30 days of communal wisdom on how we repair our lives.”
One of the most magical elements of our High Holy Days of Awe is the music — it brings the meaning to life in a way only visceral sound can.
We were honored once again this year to be joined by our world-class team of Ritual and Spiritual Leaders, along with special guests, ritual musicians, and creative partners — all helping to shape moments of depth, courage, and renewal throughout Yom Kippur.
✨ Experience some of these powerful musical moments in full on our High Holy Days playlist on YouTube (link in bio or visit youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDPYgkI_VGL0MlounwSuMjeTTAm45ma7H&si=xqXkVuIP1_jl6Rjd)

By remembering the core teachings of this holiday: Sukkot teaches us to dwell in impermanence and to find joy in the ways we show up with and for each other, inside fragile shelters that we build for hospitality, and fill with presence. The sukkah, open to the elements, reminds us how exposed we are, and yet how capable we are of creating sacred space, even amid uncertainty, mixing grief and joy, finding shelter in each other’s kindness, co-creating shared opportunities for growth and for peace.

We returned to repair, in the sanctuary and on the streets: As we emerge from the sacred stillness and soul-searching of Yom Kippur, with sorrow for the terror attack that claimed the lives of fellow Jews while at prayer on this holy day in Manchester, we thank 1000+ of you for joining us in NYC and online, including elected officials Brad Lander, Jerry Nadler, Jumanne Williams, and Zohran Mamdani, alongside faith leaders and activists who came to pray with us for justice and peace.
We welcomed these guests warmly as welcome all who come to pray with us, and this decision was made with care in alignment with Lab/Shul’s values of welcome, communal care, and spiritual integrity, and in the spirit of love.

Shana Tova. Shabbat Shalom. May peace prevail.

On behalf of our entire high holy team of hands and hearts on stage and behind the scenes—we wish you a year of good news, better days, daily returns to repair.
We blew three shofars this Rosh Hashana, opening our hearts even wider as we began this new year with a thousand of us gathered in NYC and online, to return to repair, holding on to hope and healing.
Whether you were with us in NYC, widened our sacred circle online, or cast off the past at Tashlich on the river - thank you for being part of our family and bringing your biggest smiles, best looks, tears and hugs.
