Friends,

It's an incredible time of year -- a time to reflect, to ask forgiveness, to explain past behavior, to give forgiveness to others and to genuinelly try to become a better, more ethical person. If we could bring even a fraction of this focus into our daily lives during the rest of the year imagine the impact we'd have on the world, and not just on ourselves.

This week Daniel Neiden continues to orchestrate high holiday services at St John's on 81 Christopher Street, between 7th Ave South and Bleecker.

Several KhK members attended his Rosh HaShanah services: all report that they were lovely. The davening was musical, egalitarian, traditional and elegant. We strongly encourage people to attend. Mahzorim will be provided, all you have to do is show up. There is no charge but a small donation is encouraged.
