Dear friends,
As Yom Kippur begins this year, we invite you to join Humanistic Judaism UK with Spinoza Havurah for our Kol Nidre service at British time 6pm— an evening that holds the traditional chant and the deep questions of the Day of Atonement, without asking you to believe anything you don’t.
We’ll light candles to open the evening, chant the Kol Nidre itself, move through the Ashamnu and Al Ḥet confessions, and make space for real silence along the way — not as a wellness exercise, but as this tradition’s own practice of turning honestly toward ourselves and each other. It’s a service about teshuvá: not erasing the past, but recognising what serves life and choosing to turn toward it again.
Come as you are, whether this is your first High Holy Days service or your fortieth. All are welcome — Humanistic, Liberal, Questioning, Jew-ish and Secular Jews, interfaith families, and anyone curious about Kol Nidre without the theology.
Cost: donation which goes to support our community in making our events more accessible and consistent for all. All are welcome so please register whether or not you can afford to donate. The registration link will have a get tickets button which will ask for the voluntary donation.
Services will be recorded so that people can watch at any time that feels right for them. Attendees are welcome to turn off their camera or edit their name at any time during the service.
We look forward to seeing you!
L’Shalom,
Spinoza Havurah
