Program
Description:
Our time together will include select, primary prayers
such as Al Chet, Tavo, and Avienu Malkeinu and chanting of
Torah. But the heart of our time together will be group discussion,
individual and small group work, gentle yoga and strolls on
the beautiful land surrounding the Star House.
We use
our time together to sincerely face the questions Yom Kippur
asks of us: Who was I this year? Was I the person I most want
to be? How will I be in the year to come? Rather than sitting
in synagogue listening to someone preach, we reflect, discuss,
journal, and when appropriate, share our hopes and intentions
for the year ahead.
Rabbi
Korngold's next book God Envy: A Rabbi's Confession,
is due to be published in early 2011. During this retreat,
we will have a unique opportunity to work through some of
the content of her book.
Past participants
have called this the pinnacle Adventure Rabbi experience,
because it combines Jewish practice and outdoor experience
in a deeply transformative way.
Dress:
Please dress comfortably and wear shoes you can walk and stretch
in. Some people like to wear white on Yom Kippur as a symbol
of purity. No ties or dress shoes needed.
Pack:
Please bring a yoga mat, sunhat, sunglasses and raincoat.
Electronics:
Please leave you cell phones, pagers etc. at home.
Sermon
and Prayerbook: Please be aware that there will not
be a traditional service with prayer books, sermon and extended
Torah reading. If you have a particular prayer that you would
like us to say, please tell me and I will try to include it.
Directions:
Mapleton Avenue runs parallel to the famous Pearl Street in
Boulder. You can take 9th Street three blocks north of Pearl
to Mapleton, and turn West (to the left). From 4th and Mapleton,
drive into the foothills about 3.5 miles (The addresses are
the mileage from 4th and Mapleton; i.e. 2700 is 2.7 miles).
Mapleton becomes Sunshine Canyon Road. Look for a dirt driveway
on the right and a sign with a few addresses on it; one of
them says "3476". Drive up the hill, where parking
is clearly marked to the right. Walk down along the roped
path to the northeast, crossing a dirt road through the trees
to The StarHouse. Please wear shoes appropriate for a short
walk through a forest. Car-pooling is encouraged.
Sign-up:
Registration for this event will be limited to 60
people. The program is free for members.
For all others the fee is $72

you to or because that is what Jews do or to talk to God or
because its a good place to meet single men/women, we want
to welcome you "home" to your Jewish family. Come
