Selichot Program with Film at Bonai Shalom

Rabbi Marc Soloway September 21, 2011 High Holidays Comments Off on Selichot Program with Film at Bonai Shalom

Friends,

Just one week from tonight we will be heralding in the New Year. Hard to believe.

To help get us prepared emotionally and spiritually for the awesome days ahead, we have our Selichot program this Saturday night, with the haunting words and melodies of these prayers of pardon to get us in the mood!

9:00 pm – Havdalah, followed by a screening of the film “An Unfinished Life.”

A down-on-her-luck woman, desperate to provide care for her daughter, moves in with her father-in-law from whom she is estranged. Through time, they learn to forgive each other and heal old wounds. Starring Jennifer Lopez, Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman.

There will be a brief discussion and some snacks before the Selichot Service.

11:30 pm, Selichot service led by Jan Kirschner and Rabbi Marc.

We hope you can join us!

Tishrei Tidbits – Yom Kippur

How do I know Judaism is still alive and well? More people go to synagogue for Kol NIdrei than any other time of the year- and there’s no food served for at least twenty four hours!
