Shiurim on Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur, Thursday 16th September at 11.15am
We particularly want to welcome children to family and explanatory services. In order to have the space to do so, we will have an extended pause in our all-day Yom Kippur services, between 11.00am and 13.00pm. Some of us may want to go home and take a rest, but others will want to spend the whole day in shul.
We are therefore arranging teaching and discussion opportunities with two sessions, 11.15 – 11.55am, and 12.05 – 12.45pm.
Themes will include:
Confronting denial: How Yom Kippur forces us to focus on what’s wrong in the world and in ourselves, led by Michael Wegier
The Personal Process of Teshuva: Maimonides and Aristotle, with Matt Plen
and other relevant and engaging options.
In order to attend these shiurim, you must book via the main in person services booking link.
Kohelet
Thursday 23 September at 8.30pm on Zoom
‘Vanity of vanities saith the preacher:’ but is everything really just vanity?
We read, analyse and ponder a section of this wry, profound and inveigling text.
