A Spiritual Start to the High Holidays with Rabbi Menachem Creditor and Musical Selichot Services

Enter the season with prayer, music, and community!

Members of Westchester Jewish Center, Temple Israel Center, Shaarei Tikvah, and Greenburgh Hebrew Center will join together to enter the High Holiday season as a broader community. To start the evening off, we will have a dessert reception followed by our keynote speaker, Rabbi Menachem Creditor.

Rabbi Menachem Creditor serves as Scholar-in-Residence at UJA-Federation New York and is the founder of Rabbis Against Gun Violence. Rabbi Creditor has authored and edited many books, including A Rabbi’s Heart, and After October 7: Essays. In his teachings around the world, Rabbi Creditor brings his expertise and dynamic teaching style to guide participants of every background on a journey through the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern life. Through engaging lectures and interactive discussions, participants will delve into the rich tapestry of Jewish tradition, exploring its relevance to contemporary challenges and opportunities.

Then join us for a soulful Selichot service where stirring instrumental music, communal prayer, and heartfelt reflections open the gates of the High Holiday season. Let ancient words and contemporary spirit guide us inward and upward, together. In music, meaning, and community—we begin the journey of return.

Join us for what has become a highlight of the year!
