John Zyskind will lead a discussion of the Al Chet prayer in preparation for the High Holidays. The Al Chet, one of the main prayers of the Yom Kippur confessional in which we enumerate our sins and ask for forgiveness, is chanted repeatedly during Yom Kippur (how many times?) and only during Yom Kipper. We will look at the list of sins in the Al Chet, its content and structure, to try to figure out “What are we to take from this list that we revisit multiple times throughout Yom Kippur. Call 505-856-1231 for more information.
