From biblical times to today, Jews have approached the High Holy Days in different ways. Most of us were raised to know only one of them: a focus on sin. But High Holy Day piety runs deeper and broader than that. We will survey the multiple Jewish approaches, expand our appreciation of Judaism’s depth, and explore a contemporary Jewish approach to praying our way through the Days of Awe.

Come join your fellow Wexner Heritage Alums and Members to study with one of our most beloved faculty of all time, Rabbi Larry Hoffman, PhD. You are sure to gain at least one new insight to bring into the new year.

Rabbi Hoffman has written or edited over forty books, including My People’s Prayer Book (Jewish Lights Publishing), a ten-volume edition of the Siddur with modern commentaries, which was named a National Jewish Book Award winner. His Rethinking Synagogues: A New Vocabulary for Congregational Life (Jewish Lights Publishing) and his Art of Public Prayer (Skylight Paths) are widely used by churches and synagogues as guides to organizational visioning and liturgical renewal. His articles, both popular and scholarly, have appeared in eight languages and four continents and Rabbi Larry regularly teaches for the Wexner Heritage Program.
