    Yom Kippur – time to reflect and begin again for a new year! Hear the ancient song Kol Nidre chanted and as an instrumental. Our humanistic liturgy and our member reflection will make this a very meaningful experience. There is a memorial section of this service and the names of departed loved ones will be honored. All are welcome to submit names to be read aloud. If you have a long Jewish tradition you will find our service to be a refreshing alternative. If you are new to Jewish tradition, you will find this service very accessible. All are welcome. The service will be livestreamed on Zoom. Vaccination and masks are mandatory for those attending in person. Visitors are welcome!
