Yom Kippur 2025/5786
2025-10-01 19:30 - 2025-10-02 18:30 (America/Chicago) | Temple Emanu-El Dallas
Since last Rosh Hashanah, we have experienced the sweetness of honey and the salt of tears. We have felt anxiety and relief, loneliness and enduring connection. The stirring shofar sounds remind us that our faith and community can steady us and inspire us with hope. We look forward to many meaningful, spiritual and connective moments together, in person and online, with friends and family, as our hearts connect to one another and to the Holy one. G’mar Chatimah Tovah!

Together we’ll explore the process of t’shuvah as a spiritual practice, of returning to the core part of ourselves and our sacred obligations. As we change and transform, so can we transform the world and participate in the building of the mishkan, the holy refuge.
The evening will begin with Havdalah and include changing the Torah covers for the High Holy Days. We will also join in silence, poetry, and reflections to deepen our preparation for the Days of Awe. Led by Rabbi Kimberly Herzog Cohen and Cantor Leslie Niren.
