Selichot Praybook

“Selichot” is from the Hebrew word “Selicha” meaning forgiveness. The plural ending refers to the prayers and poems that are said during the month of Elul leading up to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (and also on other Jewish fast days). Our service includes many of the traditional Selichot prayers as well as contemporary prayers, songs, chants, poems and readings. Many of us will wear white to symbolize purity. PLEASE BRING YOUR SHOFAR to sound the Tekiah G’dolah at the end of the service. Members of Rikud dancers will be leading dances to some of the prayers and dancing is optional. Bring a nosh for yourself or to share if you wish.

Tashlich (casting off ritual) led by Cantor Beth Cohen & Maggidah Batya Podos. 

We will sing prayers, stories, share and meditate. Then we will select sticks, branches, leaves and rocks to represent our “missing the mark” over the past year(s) and cast them in the water. Please do not bring bread crumbs or any type of food to throw into the river.

Meet at Tingley Beach Overlook of The Rio Grande. Take the path on the west side of the northern parking lot (just south of Central Ave.) and go west to the deck at the river. Wear hat, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and weather appropriate clothing.

Will start with a nosh as we return from Tashlich at the River.

Reb Rivkah Coburn will guide us though an embodied spirit movement practice to renew the heart.
