Selichot Choral Service & Film
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 the 2016 Israeli film, The Women’s Balcony, a joyous, riotous and thought provoking portrayal of a community striving for equality in Jerusalem, Winner of the Best Screenplay Award – UK International Jewish Film Festival 2017.
After a break for refreshments, we will begin our reflective choral service led by our rabbis, Ann Sadan, our Cantors and featuring the EHRS Choir.
