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.
