Welcome to Tikkun and NSP's Holiday Celebrations   

Tikkun and the Network of Spiritual Progressives want to help people of all faiths to celebrate holidays in traditional and new ways. That's why we're putting together this new section of our web site. For each faith tradition we will have a list of traditional holidays and from there we will collect sacred texts, rituals, art, poetry, ideas for liturgy, stories, and more so that we can expand everyone's understanding of each holiday and open people up to new ways of celebrating.

For example, here are our brand new guides for 2009 which include:

Chanukah Guide - Celebrate the World’s First Recorded National Liberation Struggle!

Christmas Guide-Contains both of the articles listed below:

• Advent 2009: The End of the World As We Know It by JONATHAN WILSON-HARTGROVE
• Twelve Gifts in Hard Times by AL FRITSCH

We need your help to make much more of this happen. Do you have a special way of celebrating a holiday from your faith that you'd be willing to share with the Tikkun and NSP communities? If so, please click here and tell us about it.  We're looking for holiday celebration information for these and other religions:

• Baha'i
• Buddhism
• Christianity
• Hinduism
• Indigenous Spirituality
• Inter-religious (e.g. Kwanzaa)
• Islam
• Jainism
• Judaism
• Rastafarianism
• Shinto
• Sikhism
• Unitarian-Universalism
• Wicca
• Zoroastrianism

As we collect more and more holiday celebration material we'll make it available on our web site. 

For right now, we invite you to take a look at our 2009 Jewish High Holiday, Passover, materials and our July 4th Celebration ideas which are available as a PDFs for download. Whatever your faith,  we believe you'll find something valuable in these for your spiritual journey.

• Jewish High Holy Days
• Passover Celebration
• July 4th "Interdependence" Day

Remember - in order to make this a huge resource for the world, we need your help! Please click here to tell us about materials you'd like us to include on this web site.
