- Description:
-
Assistant Rabbi Charles A. Kroloff leads this Yom Kippur morning service, using the liturgy from the Union Prayer Book, Vol. II, with a sermon about reducing the stress that makes heart disease the leading cause of death in the United States. Excessive stress, he argues, is a sin against ourselves. He discusses three excessive stress producers: the pressure of time, which can be reduced by spending the entire day of Yom Kippur concentrating on spiritual matters, including mastery over schedules. The pressure for material possessions, he notes, is a race that one can never win; the more one has the less satisfied one is. The pressure for status, he observes, has been addressed at Temple Israel by ending reserved seating and permitting membership to those who cannot afford dues. Finally, he argues that the project of abandoning these stressors need not end after Yom Kippur; it can be renewed on Sukkot and every Shabbat. Choral music performed by the Temple Israel Choir, Herbert Fromm, conductor.
