SUMMARY:Selichot 5786
DESCRIPTION:Selichot 5786\nA Contemplative Night to Prepare Ourselves for the New Year \nSaturday\, September 5\, 2026 \n8:00 pm: Sacred Study with Rabbi Larry Englander\nJoin us in sacred study for the Rabbi Mark Dov Shapiro Memorial Lecture \nNote: There will be a half-hour break for dessert between the study and service \n9:15 pm: Havdalah and Dessert Reception \n9:45 pm: Selichot Service\nFor those joining us online in sacred worship\, both the study and service will be streamed on our livestream page here: holyblossom.org/holy-blossom-temple-livestream/ \nThis stirring service\, filled with exquisite music\, calls us to prepare ourselves for the New Year. We will ceremonially change the Torah mantels to white\, reflect on the trying year it has been\, and ready ourselves\, with renewed spiritual courage\, to welcome the year 5786. \n  \nRabbi Mark Dov Shapiro z”l served Holy Blossom Temple from 1977-1982.  He is remembered by many with admiration and warm friendship.https://holyblossom.org/remembering-rabbi-mark-dov-shapiro-zl/. The majority of his rabbinate was in Springfield\, Massachusetts\, but he and his wife\, Marsha\, both native Torontonians\, always maintained close ties here. Rabbi Shapiro was especially devoted to interfaith relations\, social justice\, pastoral care\, and lifelong learning. He strengthened the Reform Movement by serving on many committees and writing publications for the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union of Reform Judaism. Most of all\, Rabbi Shapiro is forever cherished for his constant warmth and kindness. Family and friends\, colleagues and congregants have given generously to establish an annual lecture in Rabbi Shapiro’s name. We dedicate this learning to his memory.
