This Moment: לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה
LaZman HaZeh: High Holy Days During These Times
With open hearts, with broken hearts, let us gather to mark the season of renewal at this moment: lazman hazeh. It is said Rosh HaShanah is an opening for great renewal. Our tradition passes down a waterfall of occasions this season that merit the use of the Shehechiyanu, our classic blessing for renewal, offering gratitude for arriving at this season. For those of us who have been granted life, joy, connection, and community this year, may we find the capacity to be grateful.
But we also must ask the excruciating: is renewal even possible at this moment?
Join Kadima for the season of renewal at this moment. Together, let us see if indeed there is an answer, and, if not, to feel the pain of it together.
Register below with your presence, your financial generosity, and/or your contribution of wise labor.

Services will be held at Plymouth UCC Church and live on Zoom, unless otherwise stated. Masks required for all in person, indoor services and activites.

Young People will be asked to mask to the best of their ability (age 2 and up) and we ask them to be vaccinated. Childcare will be available from 30 minutes before the posted time that services start, to 30 minutes after the posted time services end. Please, however, pick up children promptly once services have ended, as well as being available as needed during services in case your child has a hard time.
Childcare providers ask to please send young people with no-nut snacks, lunch, toys and books - anything that will help them be comfortable and safe.

COVID Safety for the High Holidays
We will continue to offer online and onsite options, in a commitment to our Disability Justice values to NEVER GO BACK to "the way things were". We are mindful that the health and well-being of everyone is the responsibility of each of us, that Long Covid/long term complications due to COVID are common, and that there have always been people in our community who have chronic illness and/or are more vulnerable to complications from illness.
COVID/Communal Health Policy for the High Holidays:
1. For indoor events, participants over age three will be required to wear a tested, certified mask while indoors, and give each other distance as able.
2. For visual and audio accessibility, speakers will remove their mask while speaking from the bimah. There will be a small air purifier at the bimah to make this as safe as possible.
3. We will not be checking vaccination status this year, but *please be vaccinated* to the extent that is available to you.
4. Only attend onsite if you are completely free of any new symptoms (that are not part of your daily life).
