~ Held by wisdom, met with warmth ~

This High Holy Day season, Rabbi Francine Roston and I will guide you together through poetry, text, music, and meditation.

I am the founding rabbi of Path With Heart. I have been building this sacred online community since long before it was common — weaving poetry, music, and creative expression into my teaching on spirituality and mindfulness.

Rabbi Francine Roston is a seasoned meditation teacher and trained Community Resiliency Model practitioner, bringing trauma-informed mindfulness and compassionate, embodied practice to her work with individuals and communities.

Together, we offer a holy, healing space for this season — no knowledge or prior experience needed, only a willingness to sit, listen, and breathe.

Join us for Rosh Hashanah (Sept 12), Kol Nidre (Sept 20), and Yom Kippur (Sept 21).

~ Return home. Return to your center. ~

This year, Rabbi Francine Roston and I invite you into two online High Holy Day gatherings, reimagined through poetry, liturgical text, and guided meditation.

After all we've carried this year, this season is offered as a place to rest and heal — restorative, soulful, warm. There's room to breathe, to feel, to be held, from wherever you are in the world.

Join us live, or settle in with the recordings later — every registrant receives both.

🗓️ Rosh Hashanah: Saturday, September 12
🗓️ Yom Kippur: Monday, September 21
Both sessions: 9:00–10:30 am PT / 12:00–1:30 pm ET

Registration is open: www.jewishmindful.org/hh2026-gatherings/

You are invited into a soul-filled online High Holy Day experience— we meet live online so you can join from wherever you are.

After a year that has asked so much of us, we need a gentle way in — wisdom, comfort, and space to simply be. Together we will hear wonderful poetry, sit with meaningful texts, and experience guided meditation between poems, letting each one settle before we move to the next.

Rosh Hashanah Day: Saturday September 12
9:00 am - 10:30 am PT

Hi Everyone,

I am very excited to begin our Soul Prep course this week with you. If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so today.

Revisiting the texts that frame this season of reflection are like meeting old friends again. Already, I feel myself beginning to turn, and remember the profound lessons that this season offers.

In our first session, we will frame this time as one of healing. Of beginning in brokenness - big and little - and seeking to heal from our wounds of the past year.

This is ultimately a hopeful journey. We start exactly where we are. No judgement, no need to fix anything. Just speaking what is true for each of us.

I hope to see you on either Tuesday or Thursday. We will record in case you miss the session.

ELUL begins tonight (Thursday)! It begins the month of reflection and healing that precedes Rosh Hashanah.

Elul is an absolute gift. Our sages wisely encouraged us to take the necessary, slow time to reflect on the past year and do our personal work to be ready to show up for the new year.

It is my favorite time of year.

This year, in our 3-session Soul Prep for the High Holidays course, our focus will be on healing because....well, haven't we all been through A LOT this past year?

Come join us. I'd love to see you there.

We start next Tuesday or Thursday!

Who knew that today was Poll Worker Recruitment Day? Thanks to , I do!

Serving as a poll worker is a practical way to strengthen democracy and support neighbors during the voting process. Many election offices are facing shortages during the primaries and looking towards the upcoming mid-terms. If you have time, consider volunteering.

I've been thinking about how healing isn't something we do alone — in our tradition, even confession is plural. That's the spirit behind Pathways to Healing, my new weekly 3-session course to prepare your soul for the High Holy Days.

We'll draw on Torah, poetry, and prayer, and hold the season together. This course starts next Tuesday, Aug 18 (Tues) or Thursday, Aug 20 (Thurs). $180.
