 Selichot: A Service of Forgiveness
Saturday, September 4, 2010, 7:30PM
Refreshments: At 7:30PM we gather to welcome each other back from our summer activities, to greet newcomers, to make new friends over coffee and dessert.
Focusing: That begun, the cantor will lead us into the chapel with a niggun (a wordless melody) to set the tone for the Holy Days. We'll say farewell to Shabbat then learn texts to sharpen ourselves so we might be ready, intellectually, to approach the Holy Days.
Becoming: We'll begin the process of spiritual preparedness through prayer, song, and interpretive dance and movement pieces created and presented by Jessica Pusceddu, a professional dancer and yoga teacher.
