SELICHOT SERVICE: A Sacred Time for All

Saturday, September 9, 2023
Sanctuary ONLY, tickets not required

S’lichot Healing Service

The observation of Selichot, the traditional prayers recited in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah is one of the most inspirational services of the High Holy Days season. 

To comprehend the profound idea of forgiveness – we must seek ways to change, to reflect and to renew ourselves with others and with God during this time of the year. It is through liturgy, rituals and communal worship that can help us in this process.

During our service, we will witness the ritual of changing the Torah covers to the white ones, congregants will be invited to lead readings, our clergy will offer private blessings on the bimah to anyone who wishes to receive them. In addition, this is a unique opportunity to gather together during this sacred time of healing and meditation as we prepare ourselves to enter the upcoming High Holy Days season.

• 7:00 p.m. – T’Shuvah Workshop
Led by Mark Borovitz and Harriet Rossetto, founders of Beit T’Shuvah
