Occupied
Occupy Rosh HaShanah!
Suggestions for "My legs are praying" (Heschel)
Rosh HaShanah calls for tshuvah (turning our lives in the direction of loving-kindness) and tikkun (healing what is broken) for our whole society, as well as individuals.
To embody that commitment, on the first night of Rosh HaShanah in New York and on the first day of Rosh HaShanah in The San Francisco Bay Area, Jewish congregations and individuals will reaffirm the values of Judaism and of the Occupy movement with public actions to Occupy Rosh Hashanah.

These
actions will also celebrate the anniversary in the Western calendar of
the first day of the Occupy movement one year ago (Occupy Wall Street in
NYC).

In the Bay Area, Beyt Tikkun, Kehilla Community Synagogue, and The
Shalom Center will join as co-sponsors to call for personal and social
transformation in the way Americans do banking.
We will assemble at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 at the Wells Fargo Bank
opposite the downtown central Berkeley BART station (on Shattuck Ave and
Center Street).
For this action in Berkeley, if you can, please bring signs calling for “MORTGAGE RELIEF,” ”FREEZE HOME EXPULSIONS,” and a call for people to remove their funds from Wells Fargo and Bank of America and other banks that have taken advantage of middle-income Americans and the poor; and instead to put their money into not-for-profit credit unions. Like this: ”BANK ON THE 99%: MOVE YOUR $$ TO A CREDIT UNION.”
Rabbis Michael Lerner, David Jonathan Cooper, Phyllis Berman,and Arthur Waskow will share leadership of Occupy Rosh HaShanah in Berkeley at Wells Fargo Bank.
