Bet Shalom Congregation is honored to host the Community-wide S'lichot on September 20. We welcome you to join us as we prepare for the Yamim Noraim. The schedule for our S'lichot program follows:

8:30 pm - Havdallah
9:00 pm - The Wicked Son
10:30 pm - Reception
11:00 pm - S'lichot Service

Our S’lichot program will include a study and discussion of The Wicked Son by David Mamet. The Wicked Son, co-published by Schocken and Nextbook, is part of the Jewish Encounters Series, a publishing effort that brings together writers of the first rank with people, ideas and events from the Jewish past.

The Wicked Son will be the basis of a great learning opportunity and lively discussion about contemporary Jewish identity. Our study and discussion will be led by Lori B. Sagarin, RJE, who is the Director of Congregational Learning at Temple Beth Israel in Skokie, IL, the president of the National Association of Temple Educators and a consultant for Nextbook, the foundation for Jewish Culture. Reading the book is not a prerequisite to your participation, however, it will enhance it. A copy of the book is available for purchase through your synagogue office.
