Selichot Program & Service
Saturday, Aug. 31
7 p.m. Screening of the film I Am and discussion
9:30 p.m. Dessert Reception
10 p.m. Selichot Service
In the entertaining and inspiring film I Am, filmmaker
Tom Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount
the cycling accident that left him incapacitated and his
subsequent investigation into the worlds of science,
philosophy and academia in an effort to discover how
we can improve the way we live and walk in the world.
After this 80-minute film, we will engage in
conversation with a panel of thinkers and doers from
our own community.
Next, join us for a Selichot dessert reception and
service. Selichot are our prayers of forgiveness, and
the Selichot service is one of the most beautiful and
meaningful times that we gather as a community in
prayer.

Gemilut Chasidim & Tzedakah
The Third GUCI Camper
On June 29, 2013, the
peacefulness of Shabbat at
URJ Goldman Union Camp
Institute (GUCI) was shattered
when a lightning strike from
an otherwise clear sky left
three campers, including one
of our own, unresponsive.
Thanks to the skill and quick-thinking of GUCI staff, all
three campers survived. However, one camper, Ethan
Kadish, remains hospitalized.
