Selichot, the Hebrew word meaning ‘forgiveness’ refers to the special penitential prayers recited by Jews through the High Holy Days. The S’lichot service, held the Shabbat before Rosh Hashanah, gets us ready for the High Holy Days. It is a time where we seek meaning and healing by beginning the reflective process so we may improve our character over the Ten Days of Repentance.

Beit T’Shuvah’s mission is to heal broken souls and save the lives of those wrestling with addiction by providing integrated care in a community setting. 

Harriet Rossetto and Rabbi Mark met while Mark was incarcerated at the California Institute for Men -she, in a relatively new position as a social worker helping Jewish criminals, and Mark, a Jewish criminal…Their journey together is a testament to the power of giving people a second chance.
