"Beginning Again"

Rev. Carol Strecker, speaking

Beginning with Rosh Hashanah and ending with Yom Kippur, the Jewish High Holidays are a time of intentionally turning toward one another. It’s time to reflect on the past, making a commitment to reconcile, renew and recommit to being in right relationship with self, others and with God.
