Tonight at 5:30PM we will hold our Thanksgiving Yizkor Service with Rabbi Alexander and Bates O’Neal. For those for whom the Thanksgiving holiday is difficult, who keenly feel the absence of loved ones — whether this will be the first Thanksgiving since their passing, or they died many years ago — this service is for you. The liturgy, words and music, we will share together is for you. And the community we will build together — its strength, love, and support — is for you, and us all.
Everyone is welcome for this brief service. Please stay after the Yizkor Service for the Interreligious Council Thanksgiving Service in the KKBE Sanctuary at 6:30PM.

Oh, what a night! Thanks to all those involved in making Jewish Composers and the Great American Songbook such a success, and to all who joined us for an evening of music and festivity. We’ll be talking about this one for years to come!
