East Brunswick Hosting Yom Kippur Services

World renowned Cantor Rabbi Uri Blau to attend services for Yom Kippur.

In anticipation of Yom Kippur, Chabad of South Brunswick has announced its schedule and the arrival of the world renowned Cantor, Rabbi Uri Blau, who has chosen to join the congregation, and inspire with traditional songs, and melodies.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day, the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessential core of our own souls.  This will be the twelfth year of Services for this organization. 

They will be "Warm, Friendly and Traditional" according to Chabad's Executive Director, Rabbi Levi Azimov. Organizers say that last year's services were a phenomenal success, with large crowds in attendance.

Unlike many congregations, membership is not required to join.  All are welcome, free of charge, regardless of background or affiliation. 

In addition, a special children's program will accompany the adult Services. All prayers will combine the original Hebrew, as well as translated English.

This, coupled with modern Jewish melodies, meaningful insights, humor and an easy to read prayer book translation will make this year’s High Holidays an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

"According to Tradition, at the New Year the Doors of Heaven are open; G-d accepts all prayers, from anyone," explains the Rabbi.  "The least we can do is open our doors as well, to the entire community."

Services will be held on Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement - at the Days Hotel & Conference Inn, on Route 18 south in East Brunswick at the following times:

Friday September 13, Kol Nidrei service at 6:45 p.m.

Saturday, September 14 at 10 a.m.

The closing prayer for Yom Kippur, Neilah, will be held from 6:30 - 7:50 p.m. and will be followed by a Break Fast Ceremony.
