Torah Study with Rabbi Jason Rodich, followed by Mourner's Kaddish and Healing Prayer. To participate, click here.

Selichot is traditionally a time when we offer penitential prayers, a marker of the season for reflection and forgiveness that we have now entered, and a preview of the continued t’shuvah (repentance) that is to come during the High Holy Days. It is also considered by many to contain some of the most beautiful melodic phrases in all of Jewish music. Join Rabbis Beth and Jonathan Singer, Rabbi Jason Rodich, and Cantor Arik Luck, for an evening of spiritual and musical reckoning. As is Jewish custom, during the service our Torah covers will be ceremonially switched to white for the holiday season, and the we will conclude with a solitary sounding of the shofar.

We'll be livestreaming our service, both on the Temple Facebook page (www.facebook.com/congregationemanuel) and on our website at www.emanuelsf.org/live

The High Holy Days are a time where we open ourselves up and look deep inside our souls to examine who we have been and who we want to be. Have we accomplished all we can, have we done all that we should? Have we treated others respectfully; were we kind and good?

Join Rabbi Ryan Bauer and your fellow Tribesmen (men only) for this morning of spiritual exploration and preparation. We will meet at Baker Beach to first meditate and followed by our mikvah in the ocean at dawn! Bring warm clothes, a towel and an appetite for a nosh afterwards!
