September 8, Saturday, 8:00pm - 9:30pm, Revealing the Forgiving Heart: A Ritual of Selihot 

Traditionally, Jews gather on the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah to initiate the process of Selihot, “Forgiveness,” in preparation for the Ten Days of Teshuvah (“Returning/Repentance”). Those interested in accessing greater forgiveness—for self as well as other—will join as we uncover through chant, prayer and ritual our own capabilities for greater understanding, gratitude, and healing. All are welcome.
