You stand this day all of you, before the LORD your God: your tribal heads, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel, your children, your wives, and the stranger within your camp, from woodchopper to water drawer—to enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which the LORD your God is concluding with you this day, with its sanctions; to that end He may establish you this day as His people, and be your God, as He promised you, and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I make this covenant, with its sanctions, not with you alone, but both with those who are standing here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with those who are not with us here this day. Deuteronomy 29:9-14
This Saturday evening the High Holiday season begins with Selichot, a late night service of penitential prayers. Before the Selichot service at 9:00 p.m. a program at the synagogue will feature three recent Jews-by-choice telling the stories of how and why each of them came to Judaism. I will be moderating the event. If you are available, I encourage you to attend, as each of these wonderful people, Jessica Clark, Joanna Haskett, and Dr. Don Thomas, have a unique and valuable perspective to offer.
