Most human beings seek the good, and yearn like a plant towards the light. But the light casts dark shadows, and no matter how hard we strive to do right, perfection is impossible. Brokenness is inevitable. We are sometimes made to endure others’ misdeeds, and we are often implicated in the wounding of others. How do we find forgiveness, and reconciliation? The ancient Jewish sages designed Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, as a pathway back to wholeness. Interim Minister Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz will explore how we welcome ourselves, and each other, into wholeness.
