Maybe you hated it when you were a kid.
The long prayers. The strange words.
The standing, sitting and standing again.
But you’re older now.
And maybe wiser.
And maybe ready.
To hear the cry of the shofar.
To taste the apples and honey.
To start fresh.
But still, you hesitate.
Afraid you’ll be judged.
Or you’ll feel out of place.
Or you won’t be welcomed.
So, let’s be clear about what you’ll find here:
You’ll find warmth. You’ll find space.
You’ll find people who are glad you came –
whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth.
Because whether you’re feeling strong or uncertain.
Whether this has been a year of growth,
or a year of searching.
There is a seat for you here.
And we can’t wait to meet you.
