As has become a tradition over the past few years, both of our high schools gathered in their respective schools late on the Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah, for a moving program prior to the beginning of selichot. Under the direction of Rabbi Noam Stein, both schools began with a powerful excerpt from the movie Freedom Writers, followed by an assignment for self reflection, a time to share thoughts with each other, and some powerful singing. Then, the two schools came together in the Beit Midrash for selichot led by Rabbi Gersten.
It was a most fitting way to begin the Yamim Nora'im.
