  • Free

  • No Hebrew, no affiliation, no theology required

  • An outside-the-box spiritual service

  • Adults (12 and older only, please)

I’m Rabbi Brian of Religion-Outside-the-Box. I’ve been running High Holy Day services for 15 years. And, I used to run them the way you might be used to – from the book. Every year since 5755, I have led an increasingly more open, organic, and spiritual service. I did away with the book entirely and now run a service from an 8.5 by 11 page and from the heart. Three years ago, my family and I moved from Los Angeles to Portland where I continue the tradition.

Erika RuberI have always loved this time of year.  I love that the Jewish New Year and these 10 Holy days coincides with a time that I often feel reflective and thoughtful.  Gathering with Rabbi Brian last year was such a wonderful way to thoughtfully examine the meaning of these holidays – this time of year in the Jewish calendar.  Rabbi Brian offered a meaningful approach to creating ritual that I got so much out of.

Bill ZuelkeLast year as a favor to a friend, I attended Rabbi Brian’s High holy day services, held in a local park. Being a life long catholic, I am no stranger to ritual and its potential for helping us find the way to holiness. Also being catholic I had no idea what to expect. I was blessed by the experience, nurtured and challenged. It will not lightly be pulled from its place on my calendar for this year and the future.
