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.

As we prepare for the High Holy Days of Awe beginning September 22, we’re also excited to share big news from BECOMING: Lab/Shul’s reimagined rites of passage journeys for today, that take place year-round!
Last weekend, more than a dozen educators and facilitators joined our Ritual Leaders and Staff for the very first BECOMING Training Lab. Together, they gained the tools, skills, and expansive thinking needed to guide BECOMING participants through life’s meaningful milestone moments.
Our new BECOMING Guides - serving as facilitators, teachers, and spiritual companions - are now ready to create transformative experiences for individuals and groups of all ages. Throughout 5786, they will bring these programs to life!
It was an inspiring, joy-filled gathering that set the stage for the journey ahead. Special thanks to @thebearmaiden for so beautifully capturing these moments.
