Saturday, September 5
Selichot: The Unburdening | 7:00 PM
Before we can enter a new year, we need to consider what we are carrying with us.
Join us for a special experience of reflection, music, and ritual as we prepare for the High Holy Days. Together, we will consider what in our lives needs to be repaired, what we are ready to release, and what we may need to learn to carry differently.
The evening will include personal reflection and an opportunity to symbolically set down some of what has weighed upon us during the past year.
Havdalah & Selichot Healing Service | 8:00 PM
Following The Unburdening, stay for Havdalah and our Selichot Healing Service, including music, prayer, the changing of our Torah covers to white, and clergy blessings.
Selichot marks the beginning of the High Holy Day season. It is a time to reflect on the year behind us, prepare our hearts for the year ahead, and gather in community as we begin the journey toward Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
