Selichot Eve Movie & Discussion

Saturday, September 21, 2019 21 Elul 5779

7:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Selichot helps prepare us for the holidays, through contemplation, community, and healing.  One of our traditions at Shir Hadash is to watch a movie on Selichot - one that fits those themes - and then discuss, as part of the service.  We think that we have found a movie for this year that relates well to Selichot - and to our modern lives and concerns.  It is called Salaam Montréal.  

Salaam Montréal documents the sponsorship of three Syrian refugee families by Dorshei Emet – the Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montréal. The 16-minute documentary chronicles the efforts undertaken by synagogue members to bring the families from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia to new homes in Canada. 

We look forward to seeing you at Selichot, as we begin to celebrate the Holidays together!  And please do bring something for the oneg.
