This Saturday night (Sept. 8), we start the High Holidays season with a very
special Selichot service. That will be at 7:30 at our High Holiday home, Our
Lady of the Brook, at 3700 Dundee Road in Northbrook.
During the Selichot
service, we will view "100 Voices: A Journey Home." This is a wonderful Jewish
documentary, which fits well into our efforts this year, at Shir Hadash, to
explore our Jewish roots. In June 2009, an assembly of the world's finest
cantors - the largest group of cantors to return to Poland since the Holocaust -
came together in Poland on an historic mission of reconciliation. Their travel
culminates in an emotional memorial at the gates of Auschwitz. The firm
celebrates the resilience of Jewish tradition and the ability of music to heal
hearts.
We will have a brief service as well, and after
the movie, we'll (of course) have a discussion. Plus, food - so don't forget to
bring something for oneg! See you there...
