Bionic Buzz® got to cover Rabbi David Baron’s Kol Nidre Service on the eve if Yom Kippur at the Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts at the Saban Theatre. Which is the largest arts and entertainment synagogue in the United States which owns the Saban Theatre. The first communal prayer service of Yom Kippur actually takes place immediately prior to sunset on the evening of Yom Kippur. This service is called Kol Nidrei(“All Vows”). These are the first words of a special legal formula that is recited at the beginning of this service and is chanted three times. This legal ritual is believed to have developed in early medieval times as a result of persecutions against the Jews. Check out interviews and performances/speeches during the service below.
