Jews across the world consider “The Days of Awe” — the ten days between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) — a sacred opportunity for spiritual transformation. This High Holiday season is a time for teshuva — literally “returning” — a practice for finding our way back to our truest selves. The time invites soul searching and honest self-examination, demanding that we see ourselves not as we wish to be, but as we truly are. It is a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal, guided by ancient wisdom and grounded in hope of change. UU member and co-founder of Down Valley Jewish Families and Friends Niki Delson, raised as a secular Jew, will draw on personal experience, rabbinic teachings, and contemporary stories to describe her journey of seeking meaning and spiritual growth through some of the timeless practices of the Days of Awe.
Gather at the Leadville Irish Memorial to unveil the Mother and Child Sculpture. Event will include brief speeches, poems, songs, and cemetery tours at the Evergreen Cemetery.
