Hello! We have closed registration for Rosh HaShanah. You are welcome to email Rabbi Amanda before September 11th to see if there is additional space.

Karov’s First Rosh HaShanah in Lone Tree
Here's what we have planned:
10:30AM-12:30PM Community Rosh HaShanah Service (musical, interactive and family friendly)
12:30-1:30PM Community Potluck Lunch
1:30PM Tashlich walk

We will do out best to end by 12:30PM but cannot promise exact timing.


For security purposes, the exact location of the service will be sent to registrants the week of Rosh HaShanah.

September 1st is an international day of prayer for the care of creation and the beginning of our observance of the season of creation. Rosh HaShanah begins September 11th and commemorates the birth of the world. As we enter a sacred time on the Jewish and Christian calendars we hope you will join for an interfaith conversation about how our theology and faith practice can inform how we advocate and care for the earth.

Mother Megan and Rabbi Amanda will facilitate guest presenters Rabbi Melissa Hoffman, Moshe Kornfeld and Deacon Linda Brown, who all work at the intersection of their respective faiths and the environment. After short presentations from the guests, participants will break out into interfaith groups to continue the conversation. This will be fully online via Zoom (link here), so join us over your lunch hour to learn how Jews and Christians can come together and care for the place we all call home!

Rabbi Melissa Hoffman is Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Food Ethics (or CJFE). Holding an M.A. in Jewish Studies and an M.S. in Animals and Public Policy, she brings a unique blend of Jewish leadership and food systems expertise to community-based advocacy. She has published work on Jewish food and environmental ethics in the The Progressive,Jewish Telegraphic Agency, The Forward, and the Jewish Journal.

Moshe Kornfeld is the Founder and Executive Director of Colorado Jewish Climate Action. Moshe has studied at many institutions of higher Jewish learning and holds a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan. He has taught courses on American Jewish life and the intersections of religion, environmentalism, and politics.

The Reverend Linda Brown is an environmental biologist and a Deacon in the Episcopal Church, currently assigned to Cathedral Ridge camp and retreat center in Woodland Park. She is passionate about education and advocacy for the environment around us, integrating spirituality and science to inspire a holistic view of the Christian faith."

One commonality that all people share is that we will all lose loved ones and, at some point, we will all die. End of life rituals can offer support and comfort.

Join for an interfaith conversation about Jewish and Christian mourning rituals. During the first 10 minutes, Rabbi Amanda and Mother Megan will give an introduction to these rituals. After that we will have an hour long guided conversation in small groups.

The event will be an opportunity to see the diversity of traditions within a religion and to learn from those of a differing religion about how their religion marks the transition into spring and what it means to them.

Please email Rabbi Amanda to RSVP.

Did you know that it is customary to read from the Torah on Saturday afternoon?! Even better, the service is much shorter than in the morning. This service will be particularly special because we will have the first baby naming in our Karov community.

After the Torah reading, Rabbi Amanda will facilitate an interactive Torah project for the kids, while the adults have their own conversation inspired by the Torah portion. We will then have a vegetarian potluck dinner and time to socialize. The venue has a lovely playground, where the kids can play, if the weather is nice. Finally, we will sing out Shabbat and begin the week anew with the beautiful ritual of havdallah.

Timing

4:00PM Brief service including Torah reading, BABY NAMING, and discussion about the week’s parsha (options for kids and adults)

5:15PM Potluck Dinner followed by shmoozing and kids can play on playground (if it's nice out)

6:15PM Havdallah (end of Shabbat ritual)

Please bring a vegetarian dish to share at our potluck- it doesn’t have to be fancy. What matters is sharing and being together.
