Life Lessons from Late Bloomers with Rabbi Hayley Siegel

As we focus on the core spiritual pillars of prayer, repentance, and charity during the High Holidays, we can learn some incredible lessons from Moses and Rabbi Akiva. These two giants of Jewish tradition, who found their calling and purpose further on in their lives, teach us that it is never too late to change, grow, and evolve. Join us as we draw upon classical Jewish texts, modern commentaries, and your own stories in this Yom Kippur afternoon study session. All learners are welcome, and no previous knowledge is required.

Please note that you must be a member in good standing (paid in full or with a payment plan in place) to attend or access our High Holy Days services and programs.
