The Power of Teshuvah and Why We Need It
Come and join us for a film screening and discussion of “My Father, My Lord,” followed by our meaningful Selichot Services.

“My Father, My Lord” might be accurately described as the story of what happens when the energies that should be devoted to teshuvah are instead focused on maintaining one’s rigidity. Rabbi Avraham is a pillar of his small ultra-Orthodox community, known for the unbending nature of his teachings. His inflexibility seems to extend even to his beloved only son, a charmingly innocent child of six or seven, and his relationship with his wife. When the family is struck by tragedy, Avraham is incapable of adjusting, with terrible results.
