Saturday was a much needed moment of community. Together, we ushered in 5781 with hope, grief, reflection, despair, joy, and resilience.
I am struck by how intimate and communal our Boston Workers Circle services can feel even over Zoom - from watching tributes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg roll in over the chat, to A Besere Velt Chorus mastering the art of online harmonizing, to the sounding of a shofar from a family living room, and Nellie's powerful d'var.
After many behind-the-scenes staff and Ritual Committee hours prepping the content for a virtual Rosh Hashanah, I can say that experiencing the text and videos together with you is what truly brings them to life.
And we had a larger community for Rosh Hashanah than ever before. Unrestrained by physical space, we had almost 400 devices, and over 900 people joining in from their homes.
To respect the privacy of the hundreds of participants on the live call, we are making the full recording of the service only available to who registered. For a copy of the recording and to join us for Yom Kippur, please register here.
Wishing you a Leshone Toyve, Anyada Buena, Dulse i Alegre, L'Shanah Tovah, and a healthy and sweet New Year,
