Selichot Learning Session w/Rabbi Joseph Skloot
17 Sep @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Nothing Happens for a Reason: Finding Hope in Human Possibility
with Rabbi Joseph Skloot
“Is this all there is?” In a time of trauma and discord, Selichot reminds us that the world need not be as it is, that transformation is possible. That power, the power to repair what is broken and create new worlds, lies within us, not outside us. Join us as we study Jewish sources to give us courage and inspiration for the year ahead.
