In the Ashkenazi tradition, on a Saturday approaching Rosh Hashanah, we gather to begin chanting selichot — songs of atonement and forgiveness which shepherd us into the High Holy Day season.

This year, Join R’ Faryn and Music Director Doug Mandell for a special Leil Selichot gathering! During our time together, we will learn some of the key songs, prayers and liturgy from the High Holy Days, better preparing us to be a song-full and leader-full community during the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe). We will also engage in a ritual to reflect on the ways we — as individuals and as a collective — have missed the mark this year.

This gathering is designed and open to all, whether you have never attended a High Holy Day Service or whether you could lead one yourself! This year, as we Rise Together, we need all of our voices.

♿ Accessibility: There are no stairs to enter this space. Please read our COVID policy here.

We warmly welcome members, non-members, friends, and all who are curious to join us for the High Holy Days at Or Shalom.

This service is free and open to all—no ticket needed. Registration is appreciated.
