Selichot Service (Tent) (IP/V)
Selichot is the final event of Elul before our High Holidays begin – one last chance for reflection and engagement before the new year begins! Join us for an interactive workshop led by Rachael Renae, local business owner and self-proclaimed “enthusiastic style gal.” Rachael is an expert at helping people of all genders hone in on how clothing can help them be their best selves. Her presentation and guidance will help us ensure that our outer appearances promote inner growth and positive action as we enter 5784.
The evening will begin with light refreshments, followed by the workshop. Our brief and meaningful Selichot service will begin at 8:00 pm – and you can look forward to beautiful music, thoughtful prayers, and the symbolic changing of our Torah mantles from year-round covers to High Holiday white!
