The Saturday night before the beginning of Rosh Hashanah is called "Selichot," or "forgiveness." It is a time to continue to prepare emotionally and spiritually for the Yamim Nora'im -- the Days of Awe or the "High Holy Days" that traditionally begins in the month of Elul. For many of us, forgiving and being forgiven is one of the great challenges of life -- this is a time to focus especially on this challenge.

Join together with our community on Saturday evening, September 20th, at 8:00 p.m.  Rabbi Leila Gal Berner will lead us in a service and an opportunity to reflect on the challenge of forgiveness.

The Service will be followed by a dessert oneg, so please bring a dessert to share.
