Preparing Hearts & Souls for the Days of Awe: The Poetry of the Season

The Days of Awe are a time full of possibility—to recharge drained spiritual batteries, to reconnect with a sense of purpose, to heal strained relationships, and much more. But to get the full potential of this season requires preparation. And towards that end, you’re invited to join our online community of learners to rediscover the poetry of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

In three sessions—Tuesdays, September 13 & 20, and Monday, October 3—we’ll explore some of the most unusual and powerful features of the Machzor [holiday prayerbook], which is, among other things, an extraordinary assemblage of spiritual poetry. We’ll look at several piyyutim, or special poems composed for the season, to see how the artists who wrote them intended to supercharge the holidays.
