Selichot Choral Service & Film, 20:00-00:15

Selichot is a beautiful way to bring yourself towards the High Holy Days and to enhance their spiritual impact. We come together on a Saturday evening to hear for the first time the sound of the High Holy Days and the poems which search our souls.

We will start the evening with Havdallah and the the hard hitting and tough film ‘The Believer’. This 2001 film, starring a young Ryan Gosling, begins with the words of our Rosh Hashanah Torah portion, the Akedah. It follows a young Jewish man who develops a fiercely anti-semitic philopsphy and is based on the factual story of a KKK member in the 1960’s who was revealed to be Jewish by a New York Times reporter.

After a break for refreshments, at 23:00 we will begin our beautiful choral service led by Cantor Tamara, the EHRS Choir, and our Rabbis. This service is also available on our Livestream Classic Channel.
