High Holiday Reset: Yom Kippur - Reversal
We usually think of forgiveness as having a clean slate - what’s done is done, but we can move forward. Judaism offers a far more radical idea. Yom Kippur holds the possibility not only of being forgiven for our mistakes, but of transforming what those mistakes mean. Through the counterintuitive power of teshuvah, the past itself can be reinterpreted. We’ll explore how our worst moments don’t necessarily have to remain our greatest regrets, and how Yom Kippur gives us the power to turn failure into something meaningful.

High Holiday Reset: Sukkot - Home
Sukkot asks us to leave the security of our homes and spend a week living in a temporary one. At first glance, it seems like a strange way to celebrate our relationship with God. But perhaps that’s the point. Sukkot challenges us to rethink the relationship between the physical and the spiritual and to discover how something as tangible as a home, a meal, a roof, or a piece of fruit can become a pathway to faith. We’ll explore what Sukkot teaches about finding God not by escaping the physical world, but by using it to connect to something deeper.

Unexpected Routes: Refugee Writers in Mexico
Join Holocaust Museum Houston for an evening lecture featuring Dr. Tabea Linhard, author of Unexpected Routes: Refugee Writers in Mexico. Unexpected Routes chronicles the refugee journeys of six writers whose lives were upended by fascism in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and during World War II. During her lecture, Dr. Linhard will explore the stories of German author Ruth Rewald, who was murdered during the Holocaust, and Czech writer and journalist Egon Erwin Kisch, who wrote about the Holocaust while in Mexico. While the writers she discusses in the book came from different backgrounds and wrote in different languages, they all made sense of their forced displacement in works that reveal their conflicted relationships with the people and places they encountered in transit as well as in Mexico. The literary output of these brilliant, prolific, but also flawed individuals reflects the most salient contradictions of what it meant to escape from fascist occupied Europe. This event is free and open to the public but advanced registration is required.

High Holiday Reset: Elul - King in the Field
Why does the Jewish calendar give us an entire month to prepare for the High Holidays? Elul is traditionally described as a time when “the King is in the field”—a time when connecting with God is more accessible, more personal, and more within reach. But what does that actually mean? We’ll explore why this time of year is uniquely suited for spiritual connection, and what changes when we stop waiting for God to come to us and start taking a step toward Him.
