Selichot: September 17th

8:00 PM – Selichot Torah Study Session with Student Rabbi Heather Renetzky, Zoom

Join Student Rabbi Heather in a Selichot Torah study exploring tochecha or rebuke. The season of Elul invites honesty—but how can we respond to being confronted and how can we confront others? We’ll explore Jewish examples of calling people out—and calling people in—from Talmudic stories to the front page of the New York Times. Come ready to be curious and reflective!

The Book of Jonah, Zoom/Beit Midrash

Join Student Rabbi Heather for a service of reflective prayer, poetry, comfort, and care in community, for all of us in need of healing—for ourselves and those we love.
