Over the past few years, the ark procession during the Neilah service has become one of the highlights of our Yom Kippur observance. Having a few meaningful, reflective moments in front of the ark reminds us of our closeness to God’s presence even as the Gates of Judgement are closing.

This Yom Kippur, we will maintain this tradition by offering the opportunity for individuals and families to have those few moments on this holiest of days.

If you are interested in participating in this year’s ark processional, please complete this form.  For questions, send a note to Rabbi Ravski.  Please choose your preferred time frame (1:30-2pm, 2-3pm, 3-4pm, 4-5pm).  Around two weeks before the holiday (or later if you sign up after that), you will receive a response with a precise window of time for you to arrive as well as a description of procedures to follow when you arrive at the synagogue.

We hope that you will join us in observing this Emanu-El tradition and meaningful holiday moment.
