“Achat Sha’alti” (Psalm 27), by Israel Katz, arr. Joyce Rosenzweig
“One thing I ask, only this do I seek:
To dwell in your house all the days of my life.
To behold your loveliness, in the light of your temple dawn.”

Our evening opens with an in-depth study with Rabbi Yael Werber followed by a late night, candle-lit service led by Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Music Director Joyce Rosenzweig, Cantor Sam Rosen, and Larry Kay enveloping both the personal and the communal; the work is spiritual, emotional, and intellectual. The music of the High Holy Days prepares us to open our own gates of teshuvah/repentance. All are welcome. You can confidentially submit your chataim for our creative communal Al Chet here.
