RETURN TO SOURCE

Join Holistic Jew for a transformative spiritual experience of preparation, ritual, and celebration of the High Holy Days in the beautiful city of Santa Monica, CA.

Our ritual events, hosted at a private residence, provide a unique opportunity to connect with your inner self, community, and more to embrace the essence of these sacred days.

Led by Rabbi T’mimah Ickovits, special guest Audra Shapiro, and friends, these ceremonial gatherings promise to be an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth – into the unique mystery that is you. Together we will engage in meaningful rituals, soulful prayer, sacred movement, and guided meditations that resonate with the High Holy Days’ themes of reflection, return, and renewal.

All food served is ethically sourced, 100% pasture-raised, and much of it is lovingly grown on-site in the Holistic Jew Garden.

The serene atmosphere of Santa Monica by the Sea will enhance your experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the Pacific coastline while exploring your spiritual path.

Don’t miss this opportunity to embark on a most transformative journey. We plan to gather twice in Elul, once for Rosh Hodesh ) for women only) and again on the Sunday before the Rosh Hashanah explore our inner landscape in preparation. Next, comes the new moon of Rosh HaShanah and her rich rituals – like hearing he shofar, we meet abain for Yom Kippur – the day of at one ment, and culminate the season on the with the 8 day celebration of Sukkot initiating on the full moon of Tishray. Join us and uncover the textures and meaning these sacred days hold for you this year.
