SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Yom Kippur - A Day of Silence and Reflection
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Yom Kippur – A Day of Silence and Reflection\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz and Jon Aaron\n \nMonday\, September 25th\, 2023 | 10:00am – 7:00pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: Balance Arts Center at 151 W 30th St 3rd floor\, New York City\n \n\n \nYom Kippur is the Jewish Day of Atonement\, a day when\, as a community\, Jews are asked to reflect on their actions of the past year and to ask for atonement for any actions that were unskillful. In support of this day\, for the past 19 years\, NYI has hosted a day of silence and reflection. \nTo join us online\, please use this Zoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83545751797?pwd=Ti9qM3FxZyszNjRoQkN3TzJTVjdCQT09\nMeeting ID: 835 4575 1797\nPasscode: 442272\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kd6aM8SGwh \nThis year New York Insight will continue the annual Yom Kippur tradition. As we begin to emerge into a different phase of the pandemic\, we are happy to offer a hybrid event. All are welcome to participate\, however\, there are only limited spaces for those who wish to participate in person\, so pre-registration is absolutely necessary. In addition\, while we acknowledge the culture of “shul hopping” – coming for a part of the day and moving on\, we ask that you register only for the part(s) of the day that you are committed to attend\, so that as many as possible can be accommodated. \nAs always\, there will be meditations focused on the idea of right action\, the difference between guilt and remorse\, the laws of karma\, forgiveness\, and lovingkindness. There will also be an opportunity for mindful discussion on the Buddhist perspective on atonement. This year\, especially\, in the context of moving out of isolation into an in person event\, we will be emphasizing the jewel of Sangha – community. \nAll are welcome to join us in this exploration. The day will end with a symbolic break-fast. \nThis daylong retreat is a dana (donation) based event\, with donations being divided between New York Insight and Buddhist Global Relief. Guided by Buddhist teachings\, Buddhist Global Relief strives to relieve chronic hunger and malnutrition worldwide.
