The evening of Yom Kippur begins with the lighting of Memorial candles (come early if you would like to light one) followed by the haunting melody of Kol Nidre.

Some of us wear white garments and tallitot/prayer shawls, while (only) those who are able, begin their fast from life-sustaining food and drink. (Please note that we begin Kol Nidre service promptly with an instrumental rendition). This year we welcome Gabriela Ruiz on cello with Valerie Duek on piano.
