Academy of Oracles: A Rosh HaShana Immersive Theater Experience

Temple of the Stranger and Glittermilk present Academy of Oracles: A Rosh HaShana Immersive Theater Experience!

This Rosh Hashanah, step into a multi-dimensional world of surprise, joy, and wonder. As a student of the Academy of Oracles you’ll enter an immersive reality shaped by Jewish ancestral practices of prophecy and divination. Apprentice with the great oracles of old—Devorah, Jonah, Sarah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel—each embodied in living theater.

Part ritual, part immersive theater, part electric Rosh Hashanah celebration, the Academy of Oracles is a journey into the heart of imagination. Accompanied by live music and grounded in ancient Torah codes, you will touch lightning, taste clouds, burn fear away with holy fire, and call your own prophecy into the year ahead.

Come ready to play, to feel, to dance. Leave ignited, a prophet of your own unfolding future.

SCHOOL DRESS CODE: Dress in your most radiant REDS and come ready to channel your inner oracle. Scarlet organza? Yes. Cherry-red schoolgirl cute? Absolutely. Ruby silk Rosh Hashana revelation? Bring it. Vermillion zayde-goes-to-shul realness? We LOVE IT. Think layers that flow, fabrics that shimmer—velvet, fringe, lamé, silk. Add a crown, a cape, a sparkle, a secret. Dress like the prophet you are, or the one you’re becoming. Bold. Playful. Fiery. Divine. Get inspired here.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Due to the nature of this experience, there will be NO late entry. Please be on time. Please arrive between 5:50 and 6:15pm.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES: please bring your own water bottle to aid in The Great Turning. You are welcome to take photos or video, as long as you aren’t disturbing your own or anyone else’s experience.

ADMISSION POLICY: The Academy of Oracles is open to adult students of all backgrounds, genders, and ethnicities. No prior knowledge of Judaism, Rosh Hashana, or oracles is necesary. A capacity for deep presence and an openness to the possibility of awe is required.
