Temple of the Stranger

Join TEMPLE OF THE STRANGER to celebrate the climactic conclusion of the holy day of Yom Kippur with ancient ritual, wild dance, powerful song, and profound connection.

Come with an open heart and prepare to go deep in this radical experience of transformation as we connect with the ancestors and each other, explore the contours of forgiveness, and regenerate as our radiant truest selves.

No prior experience with Yom Kippur is necessary. Open to folks of all identities.

⫸ LOOKS

Featuring live music by Temple of the Stranger’s band, The Miriams, led by Shira Averbuch.
