Selichot, Saturday, September 8 • BHC

On Saturday, September 8, BHC will prepare for the High Holy Days with our observance of Selichot, an evening which combines art, discussion, self-reflection and prayers. A light reception, 8:30 pm, will be followed by a 9 pm program of art and discussion leading into a 10 pm service including Kol Rinnah performing selections from The Hush of Midnight, a Selichot cantata by Charles Davidson.

PROGRAM: Balage Balogh, “Recreating the Ancient Jewish Past in Images: A Visual Journey of Biblical Archaeology from Abraham to the Second  Temple”

Balage Balogh is a freelance artist who has traveled extensively, especially throughout the Middle East. Fascinated by archaeology and Jewish history, he has worked on illustrations for archaelogical projects with  the Israel Museum, the Oriental Institute and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

6 pm - Family Worship at Oregon Ridge Park with the Peabody Ragtime Ensemble. Led by Rabbi Sachs-Kohen and Cantor Solomon. Park opens at 4:30 pm. This is the only BHC service open to the public.

Required tickets are free and must be reserved at www.rhunderthestars.com or by calling 443-524-0284.

High Holy Day Food Drive Kick-Off: The 2012 High Holy Day Food Drive for GEDCO Cares Food Pantry will kick off on Sunday, September 16 at Rosh Hashanah Under The Stars and continue until Sunday, October 14. We will communicate additional details about the drive as we approach Rosh Hashanah. We will collect at the Hoffberger Chapel entrance and on the parking lot during the food drive. Volunteer support would be greatly appreciated.
Although collecting for GEDCO Cares is a year-round effort at BHC, our biggest collection occurs during the High Holy Days. We are again counting on our membership to come through for GEDCO Cares. BHC is a proud member of GEDCO—Govans Ecumenical Development Corporation. Contact Steve Cornblatt, 410-868-6867, with any questions or to learn more about this important social action priority.
