N
o ticket, no membership, no
frills" is the way Rabbi Alon
Tolwin describes the format
for this year's Rosh HaShana
and Yom Kippur beginners service host-
ed by Aish HaTorah.
Rabbi Tolwin,
executive director of
Aish HaTorah
Detroit, says the
instructional and edu-
cational service, now
in its fifth year, focus-
es more on education
than on formal prayer,
and does so with "no
barriers."
Similar services are led by Aish
HaTorah rabbis in synagogues through-
out the world. Locally, services will be in
the chapel at the new Yeshivat Akiva in
Southfield, under the direction of Rabbi
Tolwin and educational director Rabbi
Tzvi Hochstadt.
The casual atmosphere includes an
all-English prayer service, using the Art
Scroll rnachzor with English translation.
Only the Torah reading will take place
in Hebrew, but with English interpreta-
tion.
Rabbi Hochstadt says an introducto-
ry explanation will begin each part of
the service, with questions welcome at
any time. A guided meditation will fol-
low, which he describes as ``time to expe-
rience the prayer and reflect" on its
effect.
Rabbi Tolwin says the program is
aimed at unaffiliated members of the
community who would normally not
attend services, but all are welcome no
matter what the background or level of
knowledge.
Participants are invited to attend any
portion of the planned services. A
Saturday night Singles Soul Service will
be a part of the second night of Rosh
HaShana.
In an effort "to create a creative envi-
ronment," Rabbi Tolwin says, reference
books will be made available throughout
the chapel for use during the service as
alternative readings on Jewish values,
religion and issues of prayer.
A Rosh HaShana kiddush-lunch will
be served after each day's service, as well
as a break-the-fast meal following the
Yam Kippur concluding service.
Aish HaTorah will have a playroom
available for young
children and an alter-
native area set side as
a seminar classroom
during breaks in the
service.
The chapel will
include a mechitza, or
divider, in the form of
a table between the
men's and women's
sections, with the rabbis speaking from a
center area. Rabbi Hochstadt asks, "Do
you want to sit with your family or with
God?"
He says the service will be led with a
traditional perspective to prayer, and is
geared toward being a comfortable
atmosphere for everyone including sin-
gles and intermarried couples.
Attendance of children is encouraged.
Rabbi Hochstadt says they can be pro-
foundly effected by parents who are
eager to follow and be moved by
prayers. ri
