Why does the “Kol Nidre” moment in the Yom Kippur liturgy have such a tight hold on the Jewish soul, despite millennia of opposition to its inclusion?  How did it begin and how has it been understood through the ages? How does the music of Kol Nidre contribute to its mystery and meaning? What is its history within Reform Judaism? Knowing what the words mean, would we choose to include it if it was not already there? Join us on Tuesday, September 15 at 7pm where we will explore these and other topics in a presentation of sight and sound. This course is offered on Zoom only.
