Selichot Gathering with Beth Am Synagogue

Beth Am Synagogue, 2501 Eutaw Pl, Baltimore

Gather on the bimah with Rav Tyler, Rav Daniel, and Abby to begin the High Holy Day season with a Selichot gathering. Many Jewish communities across the world meet the Saturday before Rosh Hashanah to begin singing the melodies of the holidays and to begin the process of communal teshuvah, tzedakah, and prayer. While there will be some traditional elements, this is not intended to be a traditional Selichot service, but rather a chance to reflect, sing, and sit together as a community and to become more familiar with the melodies we will sing during the High Holy Days.
