TICKETS & REGISTRATION
S'lichot Schvitz at Wi Spa
Saturday, September 5, 2026
8:00pm
S’lichot, the rabbis teach, is a “spiritual alarm clock.” The concept of “Hirhur T’shuvah” or “Awakening to T’shuvah” demands a moral awakening of our souls, as we ask:- What kind of human am I? What contribution to the wreckage around me do I own? With Open Temple, we meet at Wi Spa and engage in an immersive experience of hot plunge, cold plunge, meditation, chanting, Soul Journaling and more all complete with a visit to the Bimmidipop for a shared community meal and reflection with learning led by Rabbi Lori.
Meet at Wi Spa and be prepared to pay the $40 admission fee at the door.
