Selichot Program Announcement
As part of our spiritual preparation for the High Holidays, a Selichot program will be held
on Saturday, September 28 th , 8 PM (please arrive early though). We will begin with a Havdalah service promptly at 8pm, followed by desert and a viewing/discussion of the film, Rabbi on the Block.
This inspiring documentary is the story of Tamar Manassah, a black woman, a rabbi, and a
community organizer from the South Side of Chicago. She has tirelessly pursued social
justice as the founder of Mothers and Men Against Senseless Killings and a champion
for reproductive rights and gun control. As a black woman and a Jewish activist, she
has brought together diverse communities in her effort as a Jew to repair the world.
As we embark on the High Holidays, please join us, as we collectively explore the timely
and thought-provoking topics raised by this film. Please bring your favorite dessert to
share and, if feasible, arrive early as we will begin promptly as the sun sets on Shabbat at 7:55pm.
