Havurah Shalom

As part of our annual holiday cycle, Havurah members are invited to share our own reflections on the themes and stories of the High Holiday season. In addition to prose or poetry that may be shared on the bima at High Holiday services, we are putting out a call for artistic expressions in any visual medium, including paintings, drawings and photography. We welcome your reflections on any aspect of the High Holidays experience, whether they arise from our tradition’s core concepts of teshuvah (return) or seliḥah (forgiveness), or from any other aspect of your own process of looking inward during the time leading into the holiday season. The Elul and High Holiday Gallery is a project of the High Holidays Committee and the Design Committee, led by Joan Peck and Marcia Suttenberg.

Submission guidelines can be found here. To learn more about having your art shown in our Elul and High Holiday Gallery, please reach out to Rachel Pollak (rachel@havurahshalom.org) by August 17. If you will be sharing prose on the bima, please email it to her by Aug. 22.
