Rabbinic Intern Alex Friedman will be welcomed at Shabbat Services Sept. 13-14 and will speak at the Brotherhood Breakfast Sept. 22
Topic for Brotherhood Breakfast: Making a Full Confession
What is the purpose of the confessional prayer (viddui) during the High Holidays? We’ll have a rich conversation about the role of confession in our lives, with the goal of entering the Days of Awe with a renewed and textually-rooted vision of what these days are meant to do.
