Preparatory Service for the Days of Awe with Guest Speaker Luke Grote.

Luke Grote will offer an adult education mini-series in October on the topic of Religious Exclusivity.  As part of our Selichot service he will offer a taste of the ways different thinkers approach the topic and how their discussions are relevant to our thinking and practice.

Luke recently obtained a Ph.D in the theological and philosophical studies from Drew University.  He has a Bachelors from Davidson College, a Masters from Drew, and Masters from Yale.  He is married to Alejandra Trillos, rector of St. Paul’s/San Pablo in Salinas.

The service is an opportunity to hear the Shofar and begin the inward process of Tshuvah – returning to God.

We will also change the torah covers to their white High Holy Day dress.  Refreshments will be served.
