Tawonga Erev Rosh Hashanah Celebration

Join Us on Sunday, September 25, 2022!
Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

Tawonga’s annual Erev Rosh Hashanah Celebration is a beautiful and joyful way for you and your family to welcome the Jewish New Year. Each year, we celebrate this High Holiday in the spirit of Camp Tawonga – in community, with joyous song and meaningful prayer.

Program

Join your Tawonga community on Sunday, September 25, 2022 from 3-5pm for our annual Erev Rosh Hashanah Celebration! We will gather under the beautiful redwoods of Oakland’s Joaquin Miller Park for a resonant musical outdoor service.

Adults and kids of all ages are welcome to this family-friendly celebration. The program will include traditional prayers, uplifting songs, inspiring reflections and lots of Tawonga ruach (spirit)! Beloved service founders Deborah Newbrun and Isaac Zones will lead the program. (Deborah is a former Tawonga Camp Director and 2018 Covenant Award winner; Isaac is a Tawonga song leader and 2020 Helen Diller Family Educator Award winner).  Don’t forget to bring a shofar for our ceremonial community blowing of the shofar.
