In lsraeI, they are called “The Yamim” – “The Days”. Yom HaShoah… Yom HaZikaron… Yom Ha’azmaut. Days of memory. Of mourning. Of honoring loss and sacrifice. Days of hope. These “yamim” are filled with big emotions – vacillating from collective grief, to personal memory and loss, to embracing hope, to communal pride and celebration. This year, the emotions run deep. And we wanted to explore the feelings these days are bringing up for us – and to connect more personally to how our sisters and brothers in lsraeI experience these days. Through music, stories, poetry, and writing, we will carve out space for the emotions of these days. These are days to pause – to lean back into memories of those we lost, to honor them, to honor their loved ones, and to lean into the hope we cling to together, as a people. We mourn and we hope. All in the same moment. As impossible as that sounds. We find a way to hold it all at once. Our memories and our future. Our grief and our joy. We are incredibly grateful to be joined by Rachel Kann – world-renowned poet, teacher, author, spiritualist – who will guide us through an exploration of our emotions around these days through one of her spectacular writing workshops. Bring paper, pen. Come even if you’re “not a writer.” This is an experience like you haven’t seen before. Join us on this journey through Yom HaZikaron towards Yom Ha’atzmaut.
