Selichot Service with Desserts
Saturday, Sept. 24
9:00 pm
Led by Rabbi Joey & Karen St. Clair, Music by Beth Hamon
This meditative, musical evening will help us usher in the High Holy Days. This year Selichot takes place at a time in which we wonder how we are implicated in envisioning a more equitable and just society. What does it mean to ask for forgiveness amidst the pleas and demands for Black Lives Matter and the scorched-earth conspiracy rhetoric of Donald Trump? Do we see ourselves changing? Letting go – of what? Returning – to what? Praying – with what in mind and in our hearts?
Join us as we begin the process of Teshuvah, of resolving those issues that have been heavy on our hearts and minds. Please arrive early and bring a candle in a container and a dessert to share.
