Selichot: Discover The Power of Forgiveness: Join with Congregation B’nai Israel, (the Synagogue) in Temple of Israel’s Rosenthal Hall to prepare for Rosh Hashanah. On Saturday, September 4, starting at 7:30 pm, we will watch a movie about finding purpose in life, “Everything is Illuminated,” and then talk and pray about how to redirect our lives, led by Rabbis Waxman and Karz-Wagman. Everything Is Illuminated stars Elijah Wood, directed by Liev Schreiber. A young man, who collects family objects, takes a strange and unexpectedly funny journey in search of a family heroine he's never known. The woman saved the life of his grandfather during World War II, when the Nazis destroyed his Ukrainian town. Jonathan flies to the Ukraine, where with the help of two bizarre companions and a dog named Sammy Davis Junior Junior, he searches for the meaning of the present that lies buried in the past.
