Yom Kippur Retreat 2009
Spiritual Nourishment and Radical Religious Community
Join us in building a spiritual and radical religious community at a two day Yom Kippur retreat full of study, singing, fasting, and prayer. Together we will create a spiritually uplifting, emotionally engaging,introspective, and welcoming space. In addition to focusing on our personal atonement we will be talking and reflecting critically about the teaching/meaning of Yom Kippur in the context of the ongoing Occupation of Palestine and Palestinian people. We welcome people who identify in a diversity of ways. This will be an antizionist, nonzionist, diasporist, queer and trans positive space.
Sunday and Monday
September 27 and 28
Mebane, NC
