PrePent Day 25
Curiosity
Welcome to PrePent Day 25!
Happy New Year! Tonight’s Rosh Hashana Eve - as we sing, laugh, move and meditate - we’ll together explore Everpresence - our new original translation of HAVAYA - a name for the divine that holds past, present and future.
What a curious word. Everpresence.
How will Everpresence meet you in community? How will you meet Everpresence as we gather?
Lab/Shul partner, entrepreneur and big-hearted volunteer, Michael Solomon, frames why he trusts in CURIOSITY and WOW, is this close to our Havaya-Hearts.
”The Past: Everything that humanity has. Every invention, every process, every idea, was born from someone’s curiosity.
The Present: If I can only approach each moment with curiosity rather than judgment, I might have less repenting to do next year.
The Future: As people use technology to blur lines of what is factual, I will need to learn to be even more curious about what to trust.”
As we head into Rosh Hashana this evening, we invite you to reflect on your past, be here now with curiosity and allow that to take you into this year’s future.
Shana Tova.
(Reminder, we won't be posting tomorrow on Shabbat)
