Selichot Teaching and Observance for All Ages

Saturday, September 4
5:30 pm

Selichot represents an annual rite in preparing for the High Holy Days and the season of repentance.  We take a moment to consider our relationships and personal wellbeing before encountering the greater community on Rosh Hashanah.  This year, we are proud to present a two-tiered program, one for families with children and the other for adults.  At 5:30 pm, we will feature a family celebration and Havdalah including our clergy alongside Jonathan Bayer and Marsha Attie.  At the same time, congregants will engage in study with our Emanu-El scholar, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner.  The two groups will join for a catered community dinner at 6:30 pm before heading into the Martin Meyer for our annual congregational Selichot service.  All are invited to attend a segment or all of this meaningful evening.

Dinner prices:  Adults $10.00
Children ages 3-10 $5.00; Children under 3,no charge
 
Dinner registration required by Thursday, Sept. 2.
