High Holy Days 5785

Schedule of Services - see below for public/guest tickets

Services will be both in-person and simulcast.

 

Saturday, September 28

  • 7:00 PM: Selichot Program & Service - We begin the High Holy Day season with prayers and poems of forgiveness. We will be watching the documentary "Space Torah."

  • Film Summary: In 1996, NASA astronaut Dr. Jeff Hoffman brought a small Torah scroll on board Space Shuttle Columbia. On Shabbat, while orbiting Earth, he read from the book of Genesis, “In the beginning God created heaven and the earth.” This is a story about inspiration, communities, and a man’s journey. A story of how family, educators, scientific and religious communities achieve great things and bring our identity to new realms. The Space Torah Project aims to preserve the extraordinary story in American and Jewish history and share it with communities around the world.
