Incase you are trying to join/renew your membership in time for the High Holy Days, here are the direct links to our membership forms:

We want you to have something “physical” to help create a "Romemu style" sacred space at home. All Romemu members will receive a beautiful High Holy Day kit in the (real!) mail if you join/renew your membership. 

Each year, in advance of Yom Kippur and the Yizkor service, Romemu gathers from the community the names of loved one who have passed away. Those names are honored in a Book of Remembrance, which is made available during High Holy Day services. Click here . If you would like to include a picture of your loved one in our Yizkor slideshow please email remember@romemu.org with your name and the name of your loved one in the subject line. The final date for submissions is September 16, 2020.

Tell us what gives YOU oz (strength) now, and how are YOU building oz during this time? We’ll share some of your reflections on the High Holy Days. To offer yours, please make a maximum 10 second cell-phone video of yourself, your family, or your friends saying the following exact words, "OZI (pronounced Oh Zee). My strength comes from (then please pause for a second, and finish with your answer)." Please make sure you hold your phone horizontal. Then send your video to mystrength@romemu.org

MAKE A SIGN WITH ONLY YOUR RESPONSE (NOT THE PROMPT!), THEN TAKE A HORIZONTAL SELFIE. Submit to mystrength@romemu.org

While circumstances change from year to year, the value of welcoming the stranger into the Romemu Community remains the same. Please join our Tech Tachles team for the High Holy Days in 2020. Be part of the team that touches the lives of every person who enters through our virtual doors. Please contact willy@romemu.org 

Yom Kippur Afternoon Breakout Sessions | Al Chet – For the Sin of…

Monday, Sept 28@11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / Pre-recorded / Join here 

Are you yearning to immerse yourself in the deep waters of teshuvah/repentance? Join Rabbi Ingber for intensive study of The Lights of Penitence, Orot Ha'Teshuvah, the three-volume work by the mystic Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook. Rabbi Ingber will take participants on a spiritual journey through the month of Elul, exploring the cosmic and metaphysical forces of penitence through the lens of Rav Kook.

As our world undergoes four profound shifts -- a global pandemic, a polarized nation, an economic crisis, and a far-reaching social justice movement -- it is crucial that we ask: What does collective teshuvah really mean? What does it have to do with understanding oneself as “we”? In these three sessions, we will take on the ambitious goal of transforming our self understanding-- moving our self-understanding from privileging “I”, to embodying the truth of “we”, a truth our ancestors understood and embodied. Classes will include group text study, study in small groups, discussion and writing exercises. There will be short readings in between sessions.

Spiritual Accounting (Heshbon Nefesh): A Deep Dive into Text with Prompts for Reflection and Creative Writing with Rabbi Mira Rivera

Learn about the the 13 Middot (divine attributes) as outlined by the RaMaK, aka Rabbi Moshe ben Yaakov Cordovero (1522-1570) in his moral and ethical treatise Tomer Devorah (“The Date Palm of Devorah”). Through prompts for reflection and creative writing, we will craft our spiritual accounting in reference to these 13 divine attributes, or Middot.

Do you feel like you’ve gotten lost this year? Do you want to get found? The Jewish High Holy Days ask us those two questions over and over again. Rabbi of Romemu Brooklyn Scott Perlo breaks open the holiest words of the Holidays -- return, renew, repent, forgive -- to reveal how their power can open the door to forgotten parts of ourselves, if we know how to turn the key. Drawing from the teachings of the Hassidut and mysticism, we’ll dive into the most important parts of the High Holy Day prayerbook (the Machzor) and allow our study of these holy words to strengthen our hearts, open up our lives, and bring us back home. These four sessions are intended to be accessible and inclusive towards people of all backgrounds and experiences (or lack thereof) with Judaism. 

How do we change unhelpful patterns in ourselves? We want to transform, but our normal approaches of self critique and blame somehow don’t seem to lead to change. Together we will explore a Hasidic teaching and a spiritual practice than can help us work lovingly with behaviors, emotions and thought patterns that we want to change and allow genuine transformation to occur.
