Nitzavim - Vayeilech
You stand this day, all of you, before the Eternal your God--you tribal heads, you elders, and you officials, all of the men of Israel, you children, you women, even the stranger within your camp, from woodchopper to water drawer… - Deuteronomy 29:9-10
Moses went and spoke these things to all Israel. He said to them: "I am now one hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer be active. Moreover, the Eternal has said to me, 'You shall not go across yonder Jordan.'" - Deuteronomy 31:1-2
Selichot Services
For many Jews, the High Holiday season begins with Rosh HaShanah and the start of the new month of Tishrei. Jewish tradition, however, teaches that the preceding month of Elul is a time of soul-searching and reflection to prepare oneself for the magnitude of the Days of Awe. It is during this time that we observe Selichot (also spelled s'lichot).
Selichot, Temple Emanu-El, Metuchen, NJ
Join Temple Emanu-El for a Selichot Service to introduce the prayers and themes of the High Holy Days followed by a viewing of the film "Just For Us". Based on his award-winning Broadway show, Alex Edelman shares his experience attending a meeting of White Nationalists where he comes face-to-face with people who wrote a string of online antisemitic threats pointed in his direction. Part stand-up, part morality play, his stories are shockingly relevant and utterly hilarious.
