Sukkot Family Service at Aravah Festival in Hopland
Our service will be lead by Kohenet Rayna Grace, and will explore four elements of Sukkot: We will shake lulavim (earth), pray for rain and healing with song and dance (water), blow shofar (air), and explore the temple practice of lighting giant candelabras for Sukkot (fire). This will be a song-filled and interactive service. All are welcome, with a special invitation to children and families.
You are invited to bring: Lulav made from four species. Water from a source that is sacred to you that we will add to our collective well of prayers for good rain and healing throughout the world this year. Shofars!
We are very excited this year to offer our Family Sukkot service at the Aravah Sukkot Festival in Hopland on Sunday Oct 20th 10am (at the site that was formally the Solar Living Institute). Aravah Sukkot Festival is a pluralistic Jewish community gathering to celebrate the harvest festival and embrace the season of rain. Through our collaboration, Kol HaEmek members may attend the Sunday morning family service at the festival for FREE (plus, we are welcome to stay for an additional session after the service at no charge)!
