Continuing Dialogue: Interfaith Meal 2022

Holy Trinity Cathedral expresses manaakitanga to our friends from Auckland’s multifaith community by hosting this annual interfaith meal. This is a wonderful opportunity for our communities to learn from each other and witness to our common humanity as we work together for mutual understanding and a deepening dialogue.

THE JEWISH HIGH HOLIDAYS

This year we are sharing in the celebration of the upcoming Jewish holidays. 

We welcome our Jewish friends as well as our partners from diverse faith backgrounds to share a meal and learn about the rich traditions of the High Holy Days. 

These include Rosh Hashanah, the marking of the New Year; and Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement.

We will also hear about the week of Sukkot, the Festival of Booths, during which meals and rituals take place in the sukkah, a makeshift structure with a tree-branch roof.  The festival ends with Simchat Torah, the celebration when the Torah has been read to its conclusion and a new cycle begins.

All are welcome to share in this annual community event.
