SWEET RETURN
Our citywide high holidays festival.
September 21–October 2 in L.A.
A journey through time and spirit. Two weeks of experiences, connections, restoration, new beginnings. An L.A. mosaic of creative partners, young adults. This year we’re thrilled to share Sweet Return with our friends in NuBloom, a beautiful community of families with young kids, from JFedLA.
LIVING IN AWE
Profound encounters, wonder, reverence. Awe can humble us, connect us, invite presence, reflection, transcendence, perspective. Deepen belonging. Magic and mystery, woven into life.
MAGIC & MYSTERY,
WOVEN INTO LIFE
Sweet Return lives in the last days of Elul and the first moments of Tishrei, Hebrew months giving us space to slow down, breathe, reveal. Who have we been? What are we becoming?
A HEART BURSTING
WITH POSSIBILITY
Open a pomegranate and find a universe of seeds, a treasure chest shimmering. Jewish tradition says each has 613, as many as mitzvot, the sacred commandments. Kindness, forgiveness, change. Life overflowing, meaning and blessing.
Teshuvah means to return, look inward, remember transformation is possible. Each other, ourselves. Stretching, growing, again and again.
