Tradition tells us that the heavens are most open to prayer during the Days of Awe. Our Selichot Service will be held in Havurah’s Bet HaKnesset. We will begin the process of T’shuvah, of resolving those issues that have been heavy on our hearts and minds, and of welcoming the New Year. Please arrive early and bring a pillow to sit on and a candle in a container.
Led by Rabbi Joey and Karen St. Clair. Music by Beth Hamon.
