Daily Morning Selichot Practice – Sept. 5 through Oct. 2

Imagine bringing the vulnerability and supplication of the High Holy Days into your body and soul with a deep, daily practice. 

This year we are taking up the Mizraḥi custom of a daily, early-morning gathering to offer penitential prayers through the month of Elul. Led by Reb Irwin and Rinat with guest leaders, we will meet every weekday at 8:30 am for 30 minutes in our special Seliḥot Zoom Room. During that time we will recite some daily seliḥot prayers, and we will lean contemplatively into one line of our beautiful piyyut, Ana B’khoach – the prayer-poem that asks for an untying of all the things that bind us. You can drop in any morning, or make it a daily practice so you can see and feel how these texts and melodies infuse your days. Each session will culminate in the blasts of the shofar.

Two special bonuses:

– On Wednesdays, those who wish may join us at the synagogue to be in communal space together for that half hour. (Zoom will still be available.)

– On Sundays at 9:15, we join with Congregation Shir Tikvah in Minneapolis for a combined Selichot Practice. Click HERE to join on Zoom.
