An adult education series in anticipation of the Days of Awe. In our self reflection approaching the High Holy Days, we strive to mend relationships and ease damage we have done in the prior year. As we work to heal what has been broken, to renew ourselves, and to do the “work” of teshuvah (repentance), we gather for weekly study and discussion. Come to any or all sessions, in the CABI Library. Watch for information about a possible culminating session on Yom Kippur afternoon, Wed. Sept. 19. Questions? Contact: Sandy Berenter, berenterlaw@cableone.net
