Selichot Service at Bevis Marks
Sephardi Synagogue, 20th September 2003 - 23 Ellul 5763
Although not strictly in
the East End, the recent *Selichot* Service at Bevis Marks has an East End Connection by virtue of being
organized in part by the
East
London Orthodox Synagogues Association. I was privileged to have
a ticket for the occasion and took some photographs during the service.
The service started at 11am and finished around 1.30pm. Use
of electric light was kept to a minimum and their massive chandeliers
were candlelit for the duration of the service. It was an occasion
of great spirituality. *Selichot*
refers to special penitential prayers said on the Shabbat prior to Rosh
Hashanah (The Jewish New Year)
