On Yom Kippur, Jewish tradition invites us to reflect. Where are our lives going? How are we spending our precious time? Do we need to shift direction in order to live as our best selves? We also take time to remember those we have lost, and to consider how we might honor their memory. We will explore these questions through learning, discussion, song, and time for introspection.
