The Well - Young Adult Experience
You're doing it wrong: Yom Kippur is a day of Joy!
The Mishnah teaches that Yom Kippur is one of the most joyous days on the calendar, which is not always how we experience the holiday that draws our attention to our misdeeds and empty stomachs. Join Rabbi Jeff Stombaugh, the new Executive Director of The Well, to explore the lessons behind this teaching and how this ancient wisdom tradition is asking us to orient ourselves inward, towards each other, and to the calendar year.
