Selichot: Stories of Forgiveness & Reflection
Program at 7 p.m. • Reception at 8:30 p.m. • Selichot Service at 9 p.m.
As we prepare our hearts for the High Holidays, join us for a moving and thought-provoking Selichot program that invites us to reflect on the meaning—and challenge—of forgiveness.
The Art of Forgiveness by The Braid
Presented live on Zoom, followed by a facilitated discussion with the clergy and directors of Congregation Shaare Emeth
Is there an art to forgiveness? These stories reveal the secrets to forgiving…but do we ever forget? Find out in this moving and thought-provoking show that deals with sibling rivalry, challenging parents, ex-husbands, a Holocaust survivor’s forgiveness, and one woman’s ability to forgive herself. All this and more, will make you laugh and make you cry.
Perfect for the High Holy Days, this live on Zoom performance is presented by The Braid – the Go-To Jewish Story Company, where professional actors perform true stories “braided” around a theme.
Following the performance, clergy and directors from Congregation Shaare Emeth will guide a thoughtful conversation as we begin the sacred journey of teshuvah—return, repentance, and renewal.
We’ll continue with a dessert reception, and conclude with a spiritual, introspective service which ends in quiet candlelight.
