Children's services will be led by our community song leader, Aviv Kammay and Shaarei Shamayim parents. They will be held in Courtyard classroom A/B at the First Unitarian Society. Please enter through the Atrium doors. Please register for children's services so we know how many people to expect. We will also have discussions for 6th-8th graders and 9th-12th graders. Please register for these discussions.

Jeff Spitzer-Resnick will lead the Avodah gathering. This is an opportunity for everyone to bring offerings of music, poetry, and stories.

Special Program: Naming Our Losses, Honoring Our Grief
On Yom Kippur afternoon, we gather in community to mourn the deep wounds of this moment in our nation's history. We will have a ritual to grieve, reflect, and renew our commitment to justice, dignity, and empathy.

Our Neilah service begins with twenty minutes of meditation and chanting. It ends with a final shofar blast and havdalah. If you are at home, you may wish to use your own havdalah set.

We conclude the day with a community-wide break fast potluck. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.
