Conducted by Rabbi Bush. The lights are dimmed as the voices of Cantor Weiss, the choir and Elaine Schuster on the harp fill the Sanctuary with Kol Nidrei. Once more, Atonement Day has come. We come together and reflect in a way that only this day can evoke.
During this time, congregants may gather to meditate, reflect and discuss themes of the day in the Currick Chapel.
Our observance of Yom Kippur continues in the Currick Memorial Chapel with our special High Holy Day Family Prayer Books. All are welcome.
When our afternoon service begins in the Schuster Sanctuary, our worship continues without interruption until Havdalah at approximately 6:00 PM. Please join us in a light Break the Fast following the blowing of the Shofar.
Break the Fast has become our traditional way of celebrating the beginning of our new Year. Once again this year, it is being hosted by the Ruth Blick Silver Fund. Harry Silver established this fund in memory of his wife, Ruth. Harry married Ethel Shapira and later returned to live in Erie. We will remember Harry, Ruth and Ethel as we Break the Fast.
This event is free and open to our entire congregation. Please bring a kugel to share and join us as we break challah together.
Reservations are necessary. Please make reservations by calling the Temple office at 454-2426 or emailing at office@taherie.org by Monday, September 13, 2010
