September 2010
The Selichot service is a lovely moment that gently guides us into thinking about the High Holy Days, inviting each of us to reflect upon matters of our greatest concern. It is held the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah. Rodef Shalom Congregation and Temple Sinai invite you to a special Selichot service and program. Following a musical service, led by rabbis from both congregations, Cantorial Soloists Julie Newman and Sara Stock Mayo and Kol HaKavanah, Rabbis Aaron Bisno and James Gibson will
facilitate a participatory discussion about “What Keeps You Up At Night.” We will have the
opportunity to share our respective concerns for our world, our community, and ourselves. The
evening will include a dessert reception and Havdalah.
Don’t miss this opportunity to begin the Days of Awe with our friends from Temple Sinai!
