Wild weather plan: If the weather is too wild for an outdoor service, we will meet at Peace Lutheran Church, 107 Concord Road, Wayland.


 


Ma'yan Tikvah celebrates the High Holidays in the woods with morning services on Yom Kippur as well as Kol Nidre services on Erev Yom Kippur. The services are a combination of traditional and nontraditional; they are informal and participatory for those who wish to add their voices. Morning services will be held outside, or if the weather requires it, under an outdoor pavilion. There is time to sing, to appreciate the natural world around us, to meditate and pray, to read and discuss the Torah portion and to remember our loved ones during Yizkor on Yom Kippur. Our Kol Nidre service is mostly indoors, but if weather permits we will go outside for part of the service. We will also have a short Neilah service at the end of Yom Kippur followed by a pot-luck breakfast.


  


Details for all services will be sent upon registration. All are welcome, including families with children. The sites for Yom Kippur are handicap accessible.


 


We run a food drive during the High Holidays to benefit the Grow Clinic at Boston Medical Center.
