Selichot Choral Service & Film
Saturday 17 September, 20:30-00:10

Selichot is a beautiful way to bring yourself towards the High Holy Days and to enhance their spiritual impact. We come together on 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 the Israeli film ‘Footnote’ which won the award for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.

‘Footnote’ asks the question: how far do we need to go to honour our parents? Israeli academic Eliezer Shkolnik gets a letter informing him that he is in line for the prestigious Israel Prize. The problem is that this letter was meant to go to his rather more eminent academic son Uriel Shkolnik. When Uriel is told of the mistake what should he do? An engaging ethical quandary for the High Holy Days!

After a break for refreshments, at 23:00 we will begin our beautiful choral service led by our rabbis, our Cantors and featuring the EHRS Choir.
