Description

Prepare for the High Holy Days with Selichot, a soulful and musical service centered on reflection, forgiveness, and renewal. Traditionally recited during Elul and in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, Selichot prayers help us turn inward and take stock of our lives for the season ahead.

This service is rooted in the Koleinu tradition, Hebrew for “our voices,” which honors Jewish prayer and tradition while incorporating contemporary melodies. Through music, prayer, and reflection, we’ll create space to enter the High Holy Days with intention.
