Join the United Jewish People’s Order for our meaningful secular celebrations of Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur to usher in the new year, 5785! On Rosh Hashonah, we begin a ten-day period, using symbols, foods, and for some, fasting to help us step out of ordinary time and into a period of reflection. Our uplifting and inspiring celebrations of the Jewish New Year will include- our traditional shofar blowing, readings, poetry, and Yiddish, Hebrew, Arabic and English music led by well-known Toronto musicians David Wall and Marilyn Lerner — including Kol Nidre on Yom Kippur, with live performances by some guest musicians. We look forward to safely celebrating, reflecting, singing and assembling, together with you! This New Year we welcome people from around the globe to gather with us online and in-person.
The theme of our observances this year is Reflection and Action.Since the last time we met as a community to mark the days of Awe, the world has endured an intense and horrifying year. As Jewish people, many of have felt the need to come to terms with our connections to the terrible violence and ongoing genocide since last October. If this time of year is a time of reckoning, what does it mean in our current circumstances? This year, we offer opportunities for reflection and a call to action. Accordingly, we will be helping to facilitate 10 Days of Awe and Action, combining political, reflective and spiritual engagement for our community, in the days between our regular Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur observances.
