Our morning Youth & Family Services are a more informal experience for our younger attendees. They are “hands-free,” using projections on the wall from the Mishkan HaNefesh prayerbook for youth. The service includes participatory music, a shorter Torah reading, and a full shofar service on Rosh HaShanah. Rabbi Fellman will share a message about pursuing our best and acknowledging our strengths and shortcomings. Join us in the Leebov Sanctuary and on Zoom for these uplifting, inspiring, family-friendly services! Perfect for families with children up to 12 years old.

ABOUT YOM KIPPUR
Yom Kippur (יום כפור)
By the time we reach Yom Kippur, we have hopefully done much of the work of repair to return our human relationships to wholeness. If so, then the services of Yom Kippur focus on how to bring wholeness to our relationship with the Divine. With a full sundown-to-sundown fast from food, drink, sex, cosmetics, and leather; simple clothes (often white); and a day spent in prayer, we ask God to forgive us for the harm we have caused and to guide us toward a better life. The final blasts of the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur mark the Days of Repentance but reverberate within us so we continue the work.
