This evening the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah begins, and around the world people of Jewish heritage and others are going to be starting the “New Year” with intention, hoping and praying for a Sweet year. We UUs are on a similar schedule of starting the year over as our church year begins this month. This Sunday, we’ll take the opportunity Rosh Hashanah provides to consider the ways that religious rituals and traditions can unite us and provide an avenue for belonging. We’ll also ponder how we might creatively and intentionally use rituals that unify people and create communities of belonging for a wide array of diverse people.
