Erev Yom Kippur, the night when we sing the magnificent Kol Nidre, is the single most awesome moment in the entire Jewish year. Most of us have at least one vivid memory of Kol Nidre.

Please join WestSide Shalom for a screening of the documentary 18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre and a discussion of the prayer’s meaning in our lives.

I understand that Kol Nidre is associated with awe because it is the entry into Yom Kippur. I also realize it has become a favorite for lovers of operatic acrobatics. I think among traditional and learned Jews, it doesn't occupy nearly such an important spot. I would bet that most of my teachers and fellow yeshiva students would associate the most awe filled responses with the 'avodah' in Yom Kippur mussaf, or with Neila at the end of the day. A comparison of the content alone makes those more obvious choices.
