Last week, we gathered to wish each other Shanah Tovah and celebrate Rosh Hashanah, either in person or virtually via our livestreams and on-demand services. This Wednesday and Thursday, we come together again to observe Kol Nidrei and Yom Kippur, to atone, repent and ask forgiveness for our sins over the past year.
