What Do We Mean by “We”? Collective Identity and Responsibility in the High Holiday Liturgy

Enter the High Holiday season in community as our North Peninsula clergy leaders gather in conversation and reflection. The High Holiday liturgy is often written in the plural, inviting us to reflect, return, seek repair, and take responsibility together. This year’s Rabbis’ Roundtable explores how we belong, how we are accountable to one another, and how we remain in community even across disagreement.

  • Rabbi Nat Ezray, Congregation Beth Jacob
  • Rabbi Dan Feder, Peninsula Temple Sholom
  • Rabbi Janine Schloss, Peninsula Temple Beth El
  • Rabbi Laurie Matzkin, Peninsula Jewish Community Center
  • Rabbi Doron Shapira, Peninsula Sinai Congregation
  • Dean Goldfein, Interim Head of School at Wornick JDS
  • Jordan Shenker, CEO of PJCC

This event is free to the community and open to the public.
