Astronomical & Cultural Significance of the Equinox
Ancient Festivals of the Harvest Season
Chávez / Huerta virtue: Courage – Viva La Huelga
Led by Rabbi David Cooper
Finding Ourselves in Space and Time. Our ancestors’ understanding of what are – solstice, equinox and (yes) sunset was turned upside down pretty recently by Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton. We forget how radical a change it was. We will get to see how frightening it was to be the first person to see the world differently. And of course we will watch the “sun set” over our equinox markers and feel where we are in the annual cycle.
