Join us for a reading of Merle Feld's
play, The Gates are Closing. This drama
takes place in a synagogue on Yom Kippur and explores
the dreams, yearnings and meshuggas of 10 main
characters as they grapple with issues of Jewish
identity, loyalty, betrayal, teshuvah (repentance),
forgiveness and the meaning of life. It is a drama
of great religious insight that has been presented at
hundreds of synagogues and college campuses across the
United States, in Canada, England, Mexico and Australia.
Merle Feld is a published author, poet,
playwright and teacher. She leads spiritual
writing workshops for rabbis and rabbinical students at
HUC, RRC, Boston Hebrew College, Yeshivat Chovevi Torah,
and the Jewish Theological Seminary.
Date: Saturday, September 20, 2008
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Presentation of the play will be followed
by a desert reception. S'lichot services
begin at 11:00 p.m., led by Rabbi Malik.
