Today 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.
What could that feel like?
We offer the option to – even in the middle of deep division and discord – commit with us to showing up, face to face, to honor each other’s differences and to find common ground that will help us repair and rise, restart a new and better year – together.
This High Holy Days season, Lab/Shul invites you along with us on an “Anti-Divisivist” spiritual journey – one rooted in bridge-building, bold empathy, and the sacred practice of holding complexity with care.
To bring us into the High Holy Days of Awe spirit, as soon as the month of Elul begins at the end of August, we will again invite you to join Pre-Pent (8/25-10/2): our signature month-long blog of original designs and digital reflections as conversation starters. To coordinate with our High Holy Days of Awe theme, Prepent will offer our community “Tools of Tikkun: 40 days of communal wisdom on how we repair our lives”. Stay tuned for more information on how to engage, sign up, and participate.
