Selihot, the penitential prayers
recited in advance of Rosh
Hashanah, will be recited on Sept.
22 by Jews locally and around the
world.
Temple Israel will have a
Selihot scholar-in-residence
weekend featuring Dr. Lawrence
A. Hoffman, newly-appointed
dean of the School of Sacred
Music.
He will deliver a series of three
lectures on the subject "A New
Year's View of 5745: Looking Pos-
itively at Tomorrow."
Sponsored by the Dr. Robert B.
Goldberg Memorial Fund of Tem-
ple Israel, the series will begin
with an address at Sabbath serv-
ices at 8 p.m. Sept. 21 when Dr.
Hoffman will speak on "Ap-
proaching a Golden Age for
Ameridan Jews."
At the 11 a.m. service on Sept.
22, Dr. Hoffman will speak on
"The Third Great Age of Ameri-
can Jewish Life: Going from
Truth to Art." Following the serv-
ice, there will be an invitation-
only luncheon, at which Dr.
Hoffman will continue the discus-
sion.
Finally, at a pre-Selihot lec-
ture, at 9 p.m. Sept. 22, Dr.
Hoffman will conclude the series
by speaking on "Searching for
God in West Bloomfield, Mich."
The program will be followed by
a social hour and refreshments.
The Selihot service will then
begin at 11 p.m., and will offer
traditional prayers of repentence
that will usher in the High Holy
Day season.
In addition to serving_ as the
head of the Reform movement's
school of cantors, Dr. Hoffman is
professor of liturgy and related
literature at the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of reli-
gion.
Born in Canada, he received his
undergraduate degree from the
University of Toronto, and in
1969 was ordained a rabbi at
HUC-JIR.
He was a student rabbi at Tem-
ple Beth Or of the Deaf in New
York, where he pioneered in the
development of sign language ex-
pressive of Jewish concepts.
Dr. Hoffman is the author of
many articles and five books, the
most recent being The Canoniza-
tion of the Synagogue Service.
He is active in the liturgical re-
Dr. Lawrence Hoffman
naissance of the Reform move-
ment, and has composed Gates of
Understanding, a two volume
companion work to the daily and
Sabbath prayerbook and the High
Holy Day prayerbook.
Dr. Hoffman travels widely,
and has been a visiting lecturer in
liturgy at Notre Dame and the
Jewish Theological Seminary.
The series that Dr. Hoffman is
presenting is open to the public
with the exception of the Satur-
day luncheon.

The Goldberg Fund, which
sponsors the series, is named for
Dr. Robert B. Goldberg, a confir-
mand and graduate of Temple Is-
rael.

munity at no charge.
