Leil Selichot with Rabbi Laura Geller

We welcome Rabbi Laura Geller as feature of this year’s Delores & Walter Neustadt Lecture Series “All Endings Are Beginnings” for a meaningful Selichot weekend devoted to one of life’s most universal experiences: transition.

Shabbat culminates with Selichot, the traditional gateway to the High Holy Days. Through reflection, ritual and moments of shared contemplation, Rabbi Geller will help us prepare our hearts for the work of the New Year. As Torah covers are changed and we symbolically cross from one year to the next, we will be reminded that Judaism celebrates transition—not as a disruption to life, but as a sacred part of it.
