Hybrid: In-person at St. John's Presbyterian Church,
2727 College Ave, Berkeley and on Zoom
In these challenging times, we welcome you to come together during the Minyan’s High Holy Day celebration. Together, we can generate new harmonics, vibrations to awaken blessing, love, creativity, and awareness. We can attune, communally and individually, to new vibrations that elevate our consciousness and elicit holy action. Together, our coherent resonance can encourage collective transformative action for justice, peace, and a healthy Mother Earth. We will be led by Rabbi Jonathan Seidel, Barry Barkan, Miriam Stampfer, Sophie Miron, Hannah Cohen, Bob Jaffe, Jake Birnberg, Daniel Tov Howard and other community members. Special guests will include Rabbi Devorah Lynn, Sarah Pizer-Bush, and Rabbi Shefa Gold who will lead 2nd day Rosh Hashanah Zoom services.
Join us in song, prayer, movement, drumming, meditation and joy - to reach high and deep, to come from our hearts and feed our souls, to help bring about Tikkun Olam.
Let the heartfelt vibrations of our songs and prayers open new paths !
ALL ARE WELCOME!
High Holy Days Tickets are ALWAYS included in Minyan Membership.

The Aquarian Minyan has adopted the following Health policy for in- person attendance at Aquarian Minyan Hybrid Events:
A reminder to those attending in person: if you have any cold, flu, or Covid symptoms we ask that you stay home to help keep us all healthy. Also, we are
a fragrance-free community and request that you refrain from strong scents as a courtesy to those with sensitivities.
We ask that anyone who either tests positive for Covid or has been ill in the previous 10 days not attend an in-person event; they may attend if they have been cleared by a doctor as “not” infectious. In person home hosts may require Covid testing for attendance.
