1. High Holidays with Panim
Rosh Hashannah Seder
Panim is pleased to bring to the Seattle Jewish community a unique and alternative approach to the High Holidays. We will start the Days of Awe with the first ever public Rosh Hashannah Seder. This distinctive feast has been put together by the novelist and educator, Mary Engel. The seder will build on Sephardic traditions of the Yehi Ratzon (May it be God's Will) platter with eight distinctive foods, each the vehicle of blessings for the new year. This seder which is open to both adults and children will also feature distinctive foods such as rodanchas, an autumn pastry, Keftedes de Prasa, leek fritters, Salata de Panjar-baked beet salad, Harissa-a hot pepper dish, and Hrous-a home style chlli paste with onion slices. This will be a unique and spriritually moving experience. Because of limited space we urge people to sign up and send in payments for the meal as soon as possible. To do so go to Rosh Hashannah Seder
High Holiday Programs
I look forward to sharing with you my collaboration with Dr. John Gottman on the central theme of the holidays, Teshuvah-Repentance. We will be leading two special sessions, one on Rosh Hashannah first day in the afternoon and on Yom Kippur afternoon on: Teshuvah: Repairing Relationships and Ourselves. We will bring to you a synthesis of traditional teachings with the insights of Dr. Gottman based on his internationally recognized research on marriage, childrearing and relationships. Our collaboration is a model of how a living tradition can integrate new insights about how we sustain meaningful, loving, and purposeful relationships with our families and friends. Because of limited space we urge people to sign up and send in payments for the meal as soon as possible. To do so go to High Holidays.
