High Holy Day Programming with KITS
This year is different from all other years. But, we at Keeping It Sacred are dedicated to lifting up the essence of the High Holy Day Season: Sweetness and Sacredness. We have designed a comprehensive High Holy Day experience that will emphasize these qualities and uplift the essence of the holy days through intentional programming rooted in the wisdom of Jewish tradition.

All programs below are designed by Rabbi Miller to be accessible, relevant and empowering. And, unless otherwise noted, each are 1-hour.

*All services with an asterisk will rely on the prayerbook called Mishkan HaNefesh and will be featured on the zoom screen. Following this form, you will be provided with information in case you'd like to use the free digital flip book on your device, or purchase (with a special discount code) the hard cover two-volume books.

Keeping It Sacred is not organized on the congregational membership or fee-for-service model, but rather a community that relies on the generosity of participants. Please consider contributing generously to uphold the value that no one should be turned away for lack of funds. Thank you-- your contributions ensure high quality programming and necessary infrastructure. Note: as we are a new venture, funding is not tax-deductible.
