High Holy Days
The Movable Minyan conducts a full schedule of services for the High Holy
Days at our home at the Institute of Jewish Education. Our services
are led by congregants, rather than clergy, and offer all who
attend an opportunity to enter fully into the Days of Awe through
song, interpretation, and study sessions for both adults and
children. We use the High Holy prayer book “On Wings of
Awe,” by Rabbi Richard Levy who is Director of Rabbinic
Studies at the LA campus of Hebrew Union College. The machzor
(prayer book) takes a contemporary approach and uses Hebrew
with transliteration and inspiring English interpretations of
many of the prayers and psalms.
Our approach to the High Holy days integrates interpretive,
spiritual, and educational ideas. For Selichot, we conduct services
with an interpretive touch, featuring a story, film or learning
activity. Each day’s service features a drash, or Torah
discussion led by one of our members, it’s a time when
a lively give and take of that day’s portion can occur.
After Rosh Hashana services, the minyan meets at the Santa Monica
Pier carousel before going down to the sea to cast away our
sins during a Tashlich service. To remember those of blessed
memory on Yom Kippur we read from a Yiskor book that we publish
each year. On Yom Kippur afternoon, we discuss Jewish books
and the children of the minyan present a dramatic interpretation
of the story of Jonah.
