Creative Exploration of the Machzor
There is much beauty and wonder in our High Holidays prayer book, but we only ever touch on a tiny fragment. That’s why, in the weeks leading up to the High Holidays, I’ll be facilitating a Creative Exploration of the Machzor.
We’ll be meeting August 16th, 23rd, 30th (11am) and September 12th (at 8pm with a focus on Selichot prayers) |
On the first week we’ll look at 2 different approaches to take in exploring, as well as spend some time creating together. In the weeks between we’ll each explore the writings and prayers independently. We’ll draw, doodle, and work with the material in whatever way moves us and makes our hearts sing.
Each week as we meet, we’ll show off our artwork and share the readings that inspired them. Sharing will allow us to explore not only our findings, but the treasures uncovered by our fellow explorers.
A $36 donation will include a personal copy of the machzor and colored pencils.
Please note: If drawing directly in your prayer book feels uncomfortable, you’ll also need a sketchbook or paper to work with.
In these extraordinary times, we can all use some inspiration and a deeper grounding in the beauty and the spirit of this sacred season. This Creative Exploration of the Machzor will give us that, and a sense of community as well.
To join and obtain your colored pencils and your personal copy of the machzor, please email deborahglobus_AT_hotmail.com

Selichot - Saturday, September 12
To join, click here At this formal introduction to the Days of Awe, we will connect with the melodies of the season, explore and express the prayers of our hearts, and consider our personal and communal paths in the coming year. Through creative exploration of the Machzor, song, and reflection, we formally enter into the High Holidays. Selichot means "forgiveness," and together we will begin the process. Preparation: Look at these texts - if you like, interact with them creatively: print them out and draw, paint, or create your own poetry in response for sharing at the service. Led by Deborah Globus, Cantor Marcey Wagner, and Rabbi Lina Zerbarini. |
