S'lichot 5769 - The Gates Are Closing, by Merle Field

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.
