Traditional Services & Contemporary Services
Our Traditional Service will focus on the prayers and melodies handed down generations ago and will be led by Rabbi Newburge, Cantor Rudnick, Rabbi Kleinman, Andy Heller, and the choir. Our Contemporary Services will be innovative visual prayer and music led by Ross M. Levy and the Levites, Rabbi Newburge, Cantor Rudnick, and Rabbi Kleinman.

Kol Nidre
Our Kol Nidre Service sets the tone for the holiest day of our year.
Yizkor
Yizkor, in Hebrew, means “Remember.” We implore God to remember the souls of our relatives and friends who have passed on. During Yizkor, we renew and strengthen the connection between us and our loved ones, bringing honor to their memories.
Yom Kippur Study Session
Spend Yom Kippur afternoon in thoughtful study on Zoom with Rabbi Richard Steinbrink. Rabbi Steinbrink will lead a multi-access study session entitled JONAH AND GEFILTE: Please Pass the Horseradish at the set time. The recorded session will be available the following week.
Healing Service
Our Healing Service offers contemporary poetry readings, inspirational music, and the opportunity to reflect on the challenges and difficulties of the past year. It is open to all MLRT members and their families and will be followed by Mincha and Ne’ilah.
Mincha and Ne’ilah
Ne’ilah means “closing the gate.” As the awesome day of Yom Kippur comes to a close, and our future is being sealed, we ask God to accept our repentance and new resolutions, and that we be sealed in the Book of Life, granting us a new year replete with goodness and happiness.
We’ve prepared an informal Break-Fast following Ne’ilah. If you want to participate, RSVP to Laurie Silverman by Monday, September 18.
