Special Customs at Eitz Or
Wearing White on Yom Kippur
White is a symbol of purity and repentance and is also reminiscent of angels. It is Eitz Or’s minhag or custom to wear white on Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur.
Al Cheyt Cards
Each year members and non-members are asked to submit Al Cheyt cards; you can write four ways that you have missed the mark including self, connections and community, and earth and nature. This year our Al Cheyt cards will be available online.
