The Saturday night before the Jewish New Year is marked with the Selichot service. It is a time of introspection, mourning a separation from God and expressing a desire to repent and change. To further focus the mind and the heart on Selichot, prayers of forgiveness, Adath Jeshurun has made it a tradition to invite members of our community to share their mission and purpose.
This year, Adath Jeshurun and our partner Keneseth Israel welcome the Joshua Community Connectors and No More Red Dots, two of the many organizations in Louisville who work tirelessly to prevent, manage and transcend gun violence. They do this, working globally and with individuals, through mentoring, housing, counseling, and coaching. Join us on Saturday, September 28th at 8:00 p.m. as we share music, spoken word, film, and inspiration to prepare for the High Holy Days. The Selichot Service will begin at 10:00 p.m., following the program and a short reception.
The program will be followed by a dessert reception at 9:30 pm., then the Selichot service at 10 p.m. in the AJ Chapel. Participation in the evening is free, but reservations are encouraged at https://bit.ly/selichot2024.
