Selichot: The Dance of Forgiveness and Havdalah service

  • Nahalat Shalom 3606 Rio Grande Boulevard Northwest Albuquerque, NM, 87107 United States (map)

Join Reb Josie Boskoff, Maggidah Batya Podos, Cantor Beth with Alavados, Rikud and our Nahalat Shalom community as we chant, pray and dance the Selichot prayers which ask for divine forgiveness. As we meditate on the 13 attributes/ trece atributos, we prepare ourselves and renew for the new year through teshuvah (return /repentance), deep introspection through ‘cheshbon hanefesh’ (accounting of our soul) and Tikkun Olam (repairing of the world). We will greet the night and the new week with the Havdalah ceremony, sound a ‘Tekiah Gedola’ on the shofar and chant ‘Rachamana D’aney’ an ancient prayer in Aramaic: “Compassionate one who answers the poor and broken-hearted, Answer Us.”
