Ma’yan Tikvah celebrates the High Holidays in the woods with morning services on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur as well as Kol Nidre services on Erev Yom Kippur. The services are a combination of traditional and nontraditional; they are informal and participatory for those who wish to add their voices. Morning services will be held outside, or if the weather requires it, under an outdoor pavilion. There is time to sing, to appreciate the natural world around us, to meditate and pray, to read and discuss the Torah portion, to hear the sound of the Sofar on Rosh HaShanah, and to remember our loved ones during Yizkor on Yom Kippur. On Rosh HaShanah our services is followed by a pot-luck lunch and tashlich. Our Kol Nidre service is mostly indoors, but if weather permits we go outside for part of the service. There will be a short Neilah service at the end of Yom Kippur followed by a pot-luck break-fast.
The service on the second day of Rosh HaShanah is quieter - a walk interspersed with meditations, prayers, discussion, and the blowing of the shofar, and including a picnic lunch - bring your own. We will go through the meadows and woods and picnic beside the Sudbury River.
All services are led by Rabbi Katy Allen.
