Return to One - A Shefa High Holiday Companion
Teshuvah. The central spiritual work of the High Holiday season, this Hebrew term is most commonly translated as “repentance.” It figures prominently in the seasonal liturgy: “Teshuvah, Prayer and Charity will overturn the evil decree!” Even the very time period from Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur is called the Ten Days of Teshuvah. But in the mystical tradition, teshuvah is linked to something much deeper than repentance, and derives from the primordial roots of existence itself.
Through a unique blend of traditional and contemporary voices to awaken our slumbering consciousnesses and gentle, meditative techniques and guided reflections to put word into action, we hope this year's High Holidays, supported by our teshuvah companion, will birth us anew into a life of hearing the eternal call of the Divine.

Awakening Consciousness: Shefa’s High Holiday Beit Midrash
In the weeks leading up to Rosh HaShanah in 2022, we presented sessions from renowned teachers and practitioners of the Jewish mystical tradition to prepare our consciousness for the High Holiday season. Each of these sessions offers an opportunity to explore different dimensions of the internal, direct experience that this potent time of year can offer.
