Selichot. This year’s topic is "Putting God Second: How to Save Religion from Itself"  This will be a first session in a series of talks on Rabbi Doniel Hartman's thought provoking ideas.

Why have the monotheistic religions failed to produce societies that live up to their ethical ideals? Rabbi Doniel Hartman answers this question by looking at his own faith and offering a way for religion to heal itself.

It will be at Congregation Beth Ohr on September 24th, 9:00 PM

Refreshments served beforehand at 8:30

Followed By Selichot Services (10:00 PM), a chance to begin asking for forgiveness in community.
