I wanted to take the opportunity to invite any of you who may live in the Washington, DC area to join me and Becoming for Rosh Hashanah on October 4th. This is the third year I will be leading a Rosh Hashanah ritual, and it’s getting better and better.
This year’s ritual will have the added benefit of a wonderful drum leader and drummers as well as several years of practice. The ritual will be held at a private home, so you do need to contact me for directions. If you know where Moon Meadow Acre is, please let me know you are coming, anyway. Please no children without express permission. Ritual may be appropriate for some, but not all children. No children under 12 should attend this ritual.
For more information about Becoming please see: www.becomingdc.org
Becoming Rosh Hashanah
RSVP required by October 3rd at 10:00pm.
The location is a private home, which is why we do not post directions online.
If you know where Moon Meadow Acre is, please still let us know you are coming.
Pomegranates and IncenseBecoming is once again holding an alternative Rosh Hashanah service/ritual for Jewitches, Jewish Pagans, Pagans of Jewish Ethnicity, and anyone else who may be interested in attending. This service was written to allow Jews exploring a more shamanic or earth-based style of Judaism and Pagans who are ethnically Jewish to celebrate one of the most important holidays on the Jewish calendar in a manner more in tune with their spiritual practices.
Bring your shofars and drums and ritual dress is encouraged. If you came last year, you know what to expect — so now you can participate even more!
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish holiday which celebrates the New Year of the soul. It is a celebration of beginnings, but it is also a time to look at the year that has passed and prepare for the year that is to come. Rosh Hashanah is the holiday which prepares Jews for Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and begins the “Days of Awe” leading up to Yom Kippur. This ritual also can help to prepare Pagans for Samhain.
Before the ritual there will be a brief discussion about Rosh Hashanah for those unfamiliar. After the ritual sweets and desserts will be served.
