Flip the Script on Yom Kippur: Join Us for Sacred Care & Connection

Sign up and join Matanot Lev's Unservices

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience Yom Kippur, the Day of Radical Return, without hanger or guilt?

Come find out with Matanot Lev | Gifts of the Heart.

Join us this week for sweet and soulful Matanot Lev | Gifts of the Heart Unservices. All tickets are Pay What You Can, and kids are always welcome. We’re gathering in a fabulous, accessible, and spacious venue, conveniently located near St. George subway station.

Keep reading for details about this week’s Unservices. If you’re observing the holiday on your own, feel free to listen to my Erev Yom Kippur Podcast from 2021, filled with chants and intentions to guide your personal practice.

The world has been heavy lately, and there’s so much work to be done. But what if the best way to heal ourselves and show up for others isn’t through deprivation and discomfort, but by tending to ourselves with gentleness, nourishment, and connection?

This Yom Kippur, we’ll focus on care—embracing our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls as sacred. Together, we’ll practice forgiving ourselves for the mistakes of the past, and for those we’ll inevitably make in the future. Through Teshuvah (returning to self), Tefillah (heartfelt connection), and Tzedakah (restoring balance), we’ll begin to create the world to come—starting here and now.

Join us for an evening and afternoon where we flip the script on Yom Kippur—leading with care and connection, both as individuals and as a community.
