Tuning our Souls for Teshuvah
For the past thousand years, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews have gathered for the 40 days from the beginning of the month of Elul, through Rosh Hashanah, and up to Yom Kippur, rising at dawn to sing Selihot prayers and to prepare the soul for repentance and renewal. This poetical and musical experience with Rabbi Roly Matalon, Lizzie Leiman Kraiem, Rabbi Uri Kroizer, Hazzan Yair Harel, and Dan Nadel (guitar) will engage us in that spiritual journey and help us get ready for the upcoming sublime days of soul-searching and prayer of the High Holy Days.
