GATHERDC & INNOVATIVE HIGH HOLIDAY PROGRAMS
Rabbi Ilana Zeitman`19 "Meets Young Adults Where They Are"
|
|
|
As Jewish communities around the world make-ready for the High Holidays, our rabbinical and cantorial alumni prepare their synagogues and communities for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur through creative programming for the month of Elul. For Rabbi Ilana Zietman `19 and GatherDC, this means “meeting young adults where they are.”
Among their creative Elul and High Holiday plans are inviting individuals to host Rosh Hashanah seders for their peers, partnering with OneTable and Haggadot.com to provide background about the ritual meal and resources to connect with peers, Tashlich rituals at major DC area waterfronts, and "Alt YK," an alternative Yom Kippur experience followed by a lunch-in for those unable to fast.

“I loved the little Hebrew that I learned as a kid in Hebrew school, but when I began to study Hebrew again, as an adult, it just became obvious to me that this language belonged to me,” Janet Buchwald, a nine-year veteran of Hebrew College Ulpan, said. “The other languages that I studied in high school and college were wonderful to know, but I don’t have any family background that’s French or Italian. They weren’t mine. But Hebrew was my language.”

But Dust and Ashes We Are
|
|
|
The reminder, “I am but dust and ashes” is not only a call to humility, but a call back down to earth—to the literal matter from which we are made. “From dust we came, to dust we shall return.” We often quote this verse from Genesis (3:19) at funerals, reminding us of the ephemerality of life. Yet, this image of dust conjures reminders not only of death, but also, perhaps ironically, of the steaming, teeming aliveness of the earth from which we come.
