Yom Kippur Morning Services with Yizkor
Indoors at First United Church of Evanston and livestreamed, tickets required.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, continues with our morning services weaving together Torah, music, teachings, and liturgy. The Yizkor service will take place following the Torah service, featuring time for individual remembrance. Our service will be led by Rabbi Rachel Weiss, Cantor Howard Friedland, the JRC Choir, and JRC musicians.
