The Healing Season Begins: A Free Elul Workshop
Tuesday, August 4, 2026 | 4:00 pm PT / 6:00 pm CT / 7:00 pm ET
The world is heavy right now. Many of us are arriving at this High Holy Day season carrying more than we have words for — grief, exhaustion, rupture, the weight of a hard year. In this free one-hour workshop, Rabbi Jill Zimmerman invites you to pause, take honest stock of what you’re carrying, and discover that the full arc of the Jewish season — from Tisha B’Av and the searching month of Elul, through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, all the way to Sukkot — was designed to hold exactly this. Come experience a taste of the soul-work at the heart of the Pathways to Healing course, and leave with one text, one practice, and one question to open the season. Free and open to all.

Pathways to Healing: Preparing Your Soul for the High Holy Day Season

The High Holy Day season is not a deadline. It is a doorway — and it opens long before Rosh Hashanah. Pathways to Healing is a three-session soul-preparation course that guides you through the full arc of the Jewish healing season, from the grief of Tisha B’Av and the tender searching of Elul, through the intensity of Rosh Hashanah and the surrender of Yom Kippur, all the way to Sukkot, when we step outside our solid walls and sit, open to the sky, in something fragile and beautiful. Drawing on Torah, poetry, prayer, and the wisdom of Jewish contemplative tradition, each session offers teaching, reflection, and spiritual practice — and the companionship of others making the same journey. Because in Judaism, this work is never done alone: the confession is always plural, and the sukkah is always open. By the time we reach Sukkot, we won’t be fixed — but we may find ourselves healed enough to sit in something fragile and feel, at last, held. This course is offered on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
