HIGH HOLY DAYS AT SHIR LIBEYNU: DON’T JUST CONGREGATE - PARTICIPATE!
Join Congregation Shir Libeynu for High Holy Day services that blend innovation with tradition. Led by Aviva Goldberg, a professor of religious studies and women’s studies at York University , our egalitarian services question our traditions even as we celebrate them. Active participation further enlivens the High Holy Days; our members contribute readings, deliver sermons on a wide array of subjects and lead unique and meaningful workshops on Yom Kippur afternoon.
NEW THIS YEAR-Our high holy day services services will take place at First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto, 175 St. Clair West.
Our Rosh Hashanah services will take place on Wednesday, September 8th, Thursday, September 9th and Friday, September 10th. A communal dinner is served after our Erev Rosh Hashanah service ($25 per adult; free for children younger than 13).
