The Evening of Yom Kippur - Wednesday, October 1, at 5:00 PM

Sharing A Spiritual Meal Before the Beginning of the Fast, followed by Yom Kippur Evening Services

Rabbi  Laurie Rutenberg and Rabbi Gary Schoenberg of Gesher invite community members to an intimate communal experience of the most holy day of the Jewish Year, beginning with a light, delicious vegetarian dinner. We will dig deep, and support one another in the spiritual journey we are called to engage in on this Awesome Day.  This Gesher experience is particularly suited to be inclusive of Jews and loved ones who may feel alienated from the Jewish community, for whatever the reasons may be.

We will enjoy a vegetarian pre-Fast dinner delicious dinner together that will prepare us to enter into the Yom Kippur Fast.  

Lighting of yahrzeit candles will follow dinner before we begin our Kol Nidrei Yom Kippur Service.

We invite you to join us in wearing white on this Yom Kippur evening, and ask that you dress for celebrating outdoors.

 

The evening will take place outdoors in the forest, underneath a heated tent, at Gesher in Southwest Portland.
