Erev Yom Kippur
2026-09-20 18:30 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | Worship Hall and Zoom, 30 Cleary Ave., Ottawa, Ontario, K2A 4A1, Canada
The evening of Yom Kippur begins with the lighting of Memorial candles -come early if you wish 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 promptly with the instrumental rendition of Kol Nidre.
