A new booklet of readings has been published ahead of the High Holy Days, by Voices for Prophetic Judaism.

It is designed to be read over the Aseret Y’mei T’shuvah – the 10 Days of Return – between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, offering prophetic perspectives rooted in the themes and teachings of the Yamim Nora’im, the Awed Days.

You can read/download/print it here.

Voices for Prophetic Judaism is an initiative led by Progressive Jewish clergy in Britain which aims to reclaim the Jewish legacy of ethical teachings by establishing a platform for prophetic voices and prophetic action, championing justice, peace, equality, human rights, and tikkun olam (repair of the world).

The booklet builds on the project’s growing website of resources, sermons, articles and partnerships with Jewish and Israeli-Palestinian initiatives promoting social justice, equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, human rights and eco-action.

In their introduction to the readings, Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber and Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah write: “Whether you read this as a day-by-day guide for your own journey through the ten days, or choose to focus on particular readings, we hope you find within these pages spiritual nourishment and inspiration, as we all continue to grapple with the ethical challenges of our age.”
