Yom Kippur Schedule

Sunday, September 27
After Kol Nidrei Prayer (Z)
Teen Scene: Kol Nidrei for 8th - 12th graders
Yom Kippur is a time for introspection and striving to make better decisions in the coming year. There is political unrest in Israel (and here at home) with much we can learn. We will discuss how these lessons provide input for decisions teens confront today.

Making Choices: Learning from Jonah’s Mistakes for K - 3rd graders

Teen Scene: Yom Kippur for 8th - 12th graders
