Special Programs on Yom Kippur Afternoon
TURNING
20×20 Talks: Powered by Pechakucha
Emcee: Norm Yanofsky
We invited a fascinating and diverse group of Temple members to speak to us about turning.
Each speaker has submitted 20 slides which will show for 20 seconds each, allowing the speaker exactly six minutes and forty seconds to address “Turning” from his or her own unique perspective.
Speakers: Kaye Booth, Dan Furst, Peter Driftmier, Maggie Harder, Alain Hepner, Sandy Mann, Jenny McKenney, Marg Semel, Sydney Sharpe, …and maybe others!
Pechakucha – Japanese for “chitchat.” Engaging speakers; 20 slides; 20 seconds each; a wonderful experience for us all.
CHANT MEDITATION SERVICE
Led by Betsy Jameson
A gentle contemplative service employing Hebrew chant and guided meditation to expand and deepen the experience of teshuvah. Like the call of the shofar and the haunting notes of Kol Nidre, melodies and the silences between them help guide and deepen our inward turning.
No previous experience with meditation or chant is necessary. This is about listening and deepening, not performance.
“When we chant we are using the whole body as the instrument with which to feel the meaning of the sacred phrase.” – Rabbi Shefa Gold
BOTH PROGRAMS BEGIN AT 1:30 PM
The 20 x 20 Powered by Pechakucha program will conclude at 3:00 PM.
The Chant/Meditation Service will conclude no later than 3:30 PM. It is OK to leave earlier.
