Next Dor DC: free High Holiday services; no tickets/RSVP required

[sohotrightnow]

Next Dor DC is holding an Erev Rosh Hashanah service, hosted by Temple Micah on Wisconsin Ave.

If you're in your 20s and 30s (we promise not to check ID at the door!), are not sure where you should be for the high holidays, and want a place where you can just come as you are, then this is where you belong. NO TICKETS. NO $. NO RSVP. JUST SHOW UP.

Beginning at 6:30 with wine and apples and honey, followed by a service at 7:00.

Services are informal, filled with music led by the fabulous Michelle Citrin (www.Michellecitrin.com). This is not your parents high holiday service – we promise!

They'll also be doing Kol Nidre next week. Info at Next Dor's Facebook page, or Temple Micah's High Holy Day Services info page.
