Kever Avot

Clip: 9/12/2013 | 5m 8s

It's a time during the Jewish High Holy Days for repenting and remembering as a community.

"This is the rare time when you actually have dedicated moments to think, to reflect, to meditate. It doesn’t happen very often in our lives, and so this really is our chance to change who we are and therefore to change what becomes of us," says Rabbi David Wolpe, who spoke at a recent Kever Avot service.
