 Hi Folks,
I am a Poly person organizing these High Holiday events. There will be
other Poly people in attendeance. Sadly, other Jewish groups in the
area have been actively hostile to Poly people in their congregations.
We are making a special effort to reach out to Poly folks, both Jews
and friends of Jews, and to ask that you please share this info with
other Poly people. We are striving to create Poly-Friendly High
Holiday events. Our services are also very beautiful and we welcome
the community to join us. Thanks!

Kolaynu: The Progressive Jewish Voice of Santa Cruz, invites
community, friends, and loved ones to join us in celebrating the
Jewish New Year "Santa-Cruz-Style".
Erev Rosh Hashanah / Shofar Services will be on Friday, September 22,
and Kol Nidre / Erev Yom Kippur Services will be on Sunday, October 1,
at the Pacific Cultural Center, 1307 Seabright Avenue at Broadway in
Santa Cruz, at 7 PM (please arrive by 6:45 PM).
All are welcome. We welcome individuals and families of every
configuration; LGBTIQQP, interfaith, blended, multipartnered,
questioning -- you name it :-)
Children are welcome and on-site childcare is available.
Kolaynu is thrilled to announce our cantorial soloists for the High
Holidays: Jonnie Pekelny on Rosh Hashanah; and Rose Elgart-Fail, Sephy
Elizai, and Jonnie Pekelny for our Kol Nidre Service. Esther's
Klezmer Band will play prior to our Kol Nidre service.
For many years, Kolaynu High Holiday observances have been a Creative
community option in Santa Cruz.
Kolaynu services are --
Progressive: recreating traditional Jewish ritual so as to more
accurately reflect contemporary Jewish values;
Egalitarian: blending new liturgy and feminine voices with traditional
prayers and blessings;
Participatory: offering opportunities for all who attend to share in
reading aloud and facilitating the service.
Both women and men facilitate the holiday celebration. Our
co-facilitators are volunteers. All who attend are invited to
participate and bring personal prayers and readings.
Our service is also Peace-Oriented. Kolaynu has its roots firmly
planted in beliefs of working towards social justice, human rights,
and peaceful coexistence... in the Middle East and around the world.
On the 5th anniversary of 9-11, and as conflict continues in Iraq and
Israel, we struggle to face the New Year with love and reconciliation
in our hearts.
Please join us on these Holy Days and share your thoughts, your
spirit, and your energy, as we all face the challenges of making peace
together.
No tickets necessary. Contributions of any amount are gratefully
accepted and deeply appreciated to cover the cost of the facility and
printed materials. Suggested donations in units of "chai" (18), for
"life", are in keeping with the spirit of the season (no one is
turned away for lack of funds).
Come as you are; no need to dress-up (please refrain from wearing
fragrances for the comfort of those who may be sensitive). Please feel
free to bring flowers, photos, and mementos to adorn the mishkan
(altar) and create sacred space. Bring tambourines, hand drums, and
meditations.
Call (831) 475-3313 for more info and to reserve childcare.
