Late-nite davening. Ebn Leader led
selichot services for
Kehilat Hadar Saturday night. Wow. I don't know if I could survive an entire Yom Kippur with that much intensity, but I'm tempted to
join them in Jerusalem next year just to make the attempt. I also like how they are working out "grassroots halacha":
As a result of organic demand, women have received aliyot and read from the Torah at our minyan since 1992. After reviewing the halakhic sources, it was decided that not only may women be called up to the Torah, but they may also read from it, in addition to participating in other parts of the service. At the same time, we maintain the separation between men and women during prayer, in accordance with Jewish law. More recently, other halakhically-oriented minyans in Jerusalem and abroad have adopted this form.
UPDATE:
Selichot senryu from Protocols. These are insider jokes but pretty amusing to those of us who participate this sort of thing. My favorite:
Translators' field day
Completely different meaning,
Hebrew v. English.
Does that mean they were using
the USCJ selichot prayer book?
