This year’s community-wide Selichot service will feature a community chorus of singers to sing the prayers for forgiveness in preparation for the High Holy Days.

The singers should be available for two rehearsals: one in August and one in September, both at Congregation Beth Torah. The choir will also meet at 8:00 p.m. for sound check and final run-throughs on the day of the service.

The Selichot service is Saturday, Sept. 17, at 10:10 p.m. at Congregation Beth Torah. Lara Steinel will direct. Singers can contact Lezlie Zucker, Music Coordinator at Congregation Beth Torah, if interested in signing up for the choir, by emailing .

The Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City sponsors the Selichot program in collaboration with area congregations and generous support from The Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City.
