About our High Holy Day theme and artwork:
Thank you to Malkhut Partner and lay leader Lisa Huberman, who created the beautiful artwork inspired by our theme for 5783: Spring up, sweet water.
Words about our theme from Rabbi Goldenberg: As our people sought water in the dry, unforgiving desert, the tradition teaches us that they sang a song, and a well sprang up. The prophet Miriam’s well was available to them, even after her death. We too seek water. These days, as the pandemic drags on, as democracy and basic rights threaten to dry up, as we take in news of war, economic hardship, and the destruction of our natural world, it feels as though we are facing 40 more years in a desert wilderness. This New Year we will sing to the well, and we will recommit to the hard work of digging, that the sweet waters of sustenance, of resilience, and of liberation might spring up for all.
