Selichot Service

13 Sep @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Jewish tradition teaches that the month of Elul, preceding the High Holidays, is a time of soul-searching and reflection to prepare oneself for the magnitude of the Days of Awe. It is during this time that we observe Selichot, on the Saturday evening just before Rosh HaShanah.
In addition to the Selichot service itself, a meaningful ritual of changing the Torah covers to those specifically designed for the High Holidays often precedes Selichot. Our special covers are white, representing purity and the wish that through repentance, our sins will be made white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
